The Weight

I think we spend too much time
Talking around what we need to say
I think there′s always been somethingSomething you've been dying to say
′Cause I've been dying to say this

But the words won't
They won′t make their way out of my lips
Won′t make the shape I need to ask you
Why don't, why don′t we try?
Let's try to make what we have real

′Cause I lo...
Oh, I lo...
How, I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo...
I do...
I can't say it, but I know that I do

I think you biting your lip hides
Something profound that I wish you′d say
My mind's been racing
My heart's been waiting
It just wants me to say
What we′ve been hiding away

But the words won′t
They won't make their way out of my lips
Won′t make the shape I need to ask you
Why don't, why don′t we try?
Let's try to make what we have real

′Cause I lo...
Oh, I lo...
How, I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo...
I do

It's just a word, just a single word
Telling myself that telling her
Is not a big thing
More than a word
It changes what she hears, what she's heard
What we are and what we once were
One of these days I′m going to have to take that risk
If I′m going to be the man that she can see herself with
I can feel the weight this word can easily shift
Oh, but I want to make it real

'Cause I lo...
Oh, I lo...
How, I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo...
I do
I can′t say it, but I know that I do
