House On the Hill

Words

I'm standing here, staring
out into the night
I tried out the words
but they didn't sound right

I wish that I knew
exactly what to say
Just give me a moment
Don't turn away

I'm standing here, searching
for just the right words
I think that I've found them
but they're only mockingbirds

I wish that I knew
exactly what to say
Just give me a moment
Don't turn away

I'm standing here, reaching
my hands out to you
My words might be fickle
but my actions are true

I wish that I knew
exactly what to say
Just give me a moment
Don't turn away

Please don't turn away
