How to Write a Song

When I'm alone I can be anything

When I'm with you I know not to

If I give you a bag full of words I don't understand

I'd come home to words that mean nothing

No more aluminum sleep pills

Cause I see us slow dancing at funerals

If we're escaping from our covered hearts

I'll only let you see my face when we're in the dark

How to write a song

In six simple steps

Do melodies float

Into your head

Because my voice gets sucked into

A thousand ears and I don't know

Whether I'm here or not I think

I'm gone now my words glue things

Together that are not at all the same

And the silence takes them away from me

How to write a song

A thousand ears and I don't know

Whether I'm here or not I think

I'm gone now my words glue things

Together that are not at all the same

And the silence takes them away from me
