The Right Words

music and lyrics written by David Caswell

Intro instrumental motif

 

Can you hear what I’m saying when I’m looking at you

When I awkwardly smile in the coffee shop queue

I don’t want to have to find the words

I don’t want to have to feel absurd with you

 

Can you hear what I’m saying when I’m thinking of you

When I’m staring for hours at a distant view

I know there’s a better way to be 

But the right words don’t come easily to me

 

Every Saturday running through the streets

I find my way to where I know you’ll be

Any poor excuse to be near to you

Those listless days when I’m trying to write

Keep my head in some kind of shape

I need help to distract myself 

Coz you’re cutting through

 

Can you hear what I’m saying when I’m looking at you

When I awkwardly smile in the coffee shop queue

I don’t want to have to find the words

I don’t want to have to feel absurd with you

 

Can you hear what I’m saying when I’m thinking of you

When I’m staring for hours at a distant view

I know there’s a better way to be 

But the right words don’t come easily to me

 

Monday morning thoughts. It’s time to start again

Or so I tell myself until I’m blue

Catching glimpses of you everywhere

There’s no sense in this secret life

My imagination running wild 

I need help to distract myself

Cos you’re cutting through

 

Can you hear what I’m saying when I’m looking at you

When I awkwardly smile in the coffee shop queue

I don’t want to have to find the words

I don’t want to have to feel absurd with you

 

Can you hear what I’m saying when I’m thinking of you

When I’m staring for hours at a distant view

I know there’s a better way to be 

But the right words don’t come easily to me

I know there’s a better way to be 

But the right words don’t come easily to me
