I've tried and I've tried to write you love songs
that will say what I have to say
but whenever I play my guitar
all I get is--at best--cliche
But it's true to say that
I've never been one to believe in
that first sight kind of love
until after I met you
and I never believed in
that forever kind of love
until just right now
It's like I never knew
I've tried and I've tried to write you love songs
that will put feelings into words
to say what's unique about our love
that's eloquent but not absurd
For it's true to say that
when I dream of you, it feels much like falling
and I fear my heart will truly burst
and the longing that I feel
when you're not here with me
could accurately be
described as thirst
I only want to say what's needed
My love, you leave me speechless
