We Don't Have the Words Lyrics & Tabs by The Brilliant Inventions
We Don't Have the Words
guitar chords lyrics
I drove down South in a used white Saturn
Watched the clouds in rolling patterns
With my doubts hanging out in back
In Charlottesville someone snapped my antenna
I sang myself all the way to Atlanta
The moon was out, the sky was charcoal black.
Chasing taillights in the night.
Sometimes there's nothing to decide
Like songbirds we know what we know
Even though we don't have the words.
All alone with a stranger's address,
Stereo and a futon mattress, down the road
With all I owned between the lanes.
I told her twelve, but it was much later
I found myself rolling into Decatur
With all I owned between the lanes.
I told her twelve, but it was much later
I found myself rolling into Decatur
The stars were out and shined down like rain.
And I can't remember every part
Sometimes facts obscure the heart,
Lines get blurred,
But we know what we know
Even though we don't have the words.
Time goes by, dreams of fragile flowers
Left to die.
At five AM, don't know what I was feeling
I watched the fan turn round the ceiling
Like who I am, who I've been all the way.
But as the light fell through a dirty window pane
I knew I knew something I couldn't explain
No win or lose just moves with no mistakes.
And I tried to put it in a song
But every time in came out wrong
So I prefer to say
I know what I know
I know what I know
I know what I know
Even though I don't have the words.
