You Say

You know i listen to every word you say
so i remember everything you dont
and maybe it isnt the right way to go about
getting something out
but sometimes i need to shout to get through to you

you say that nothing lasts forever
you say you love me
i say i love you  to
i belive every word you say
but i when i say something i get tounge tied
reeled in by a clothing line
the pants that fit you just right but im
always hung out to dry

and i am so strung out trying to translate woman
into a male hooked on phonics
so that when i say call me i mean soon
when i say yes i mean perhapse
but when i say i love you i mean more than I could ever show
so when you say nothing lasts forever i say
how do you know?

because no one has lived long enough to see if forever is possible

i have more faith than i can afford to invest
in a person like you
but if the price is right i'll take you and a cloud to bite
for 500 bob
and we can call it a night
so whenever we dissagree we can fall back on the silver lining

but you say nothing on the line when
you dont call on time
so i say
how do you nont know
