Lyrics

Those Things We Just Can't Say written by Daniel Lee

Begin: every now and then someone steps right in and does it all so differently
They give, just anonymously, there?s nothing that you missed, they only want your joy to see
And I try, mixed in with goodbyes, to show you what?s inside, to summarize my gratitude
But all I leave you with are words, just moments that you heard that disappear like food
In dreams are only where I?ve means to give you what it seems in fairness I?d return you
But father, friend, Samaritan me, maybe you could catch wind

These days there?s more than plenty ways that we communicate
And I could use them all
At best I feel less and less able to confess
And so I just don?t call
Somewhere, I hope they go somewhere
All those things we just can?t say

We once were strewn so tight, but try as well we might, did not belong in life like peas
And so when we both let go, it was all that we could know, and I slept what you shared with me
It?s fine, I?d never buy back time, but justify the silence when it?s relative
The logic is we?re closer to right now with more to figure out

And I could not keep still when grandma called
And I?m surprised I heard her words at all
And here I am with memories like puzzle pieces not completed
And I wish I?d stayed seated in that burnt orange chair

These days the air is thick with waves that leave us hesitating
To say anything real
At best, we feel less and less able to confess
And so we just don?t call
Somewhere, I hope they go somewhere
All those things we just can?t say
