Umphrey's McGee > Songs > Words > Lyrics


    Speechless again at a loss for words
    But they wouldn't be heard anyway, would they
    The minimum required is what the offer is
    And that's all you give

    Stranded above all the friction here
    Your motives aren't clear enough to see

    I will be unstable
    I'm not just a passerby
    I hate sudden changes

    Speechless again with no time to spare
    Could you pretend that you care just once for me
    At least for a while put your guards away
    There's no one to blame

    Words can't hear this silent ear
    (fear won't leave here first)
    Certain sigh
    Why frame time to time spent near
    (nearness loses sights)
    Sight signed off

    Your words occur to me sometimes
    align the reasons why we're here
    and walk on a clear wire
    Trapeze Jesus
    cautious and slow

    so quick to lunge,
    Brain to tongue
    To find I'm the only one
    The only one that's fit to choose
    Another side, another tool
    And what makes up your silver spoon
    That makes you want to live again
