Speak Lyrics by Nickel Creek

Speak Lyrics

    Well I sat down next to a photograph
    Tried my best almost made her laugh
    She was my toughest crowd
    There in the way was a moutain up in the clouds
    Well I can't sleep and I'm not in love
    I can't speak without messing up
    Eye's tell of what's behind
    And hers showed the way to a long and lonely climb
    But through failure I'll proceed
    And she'll see how far I've come

    [Chorus]
    And it's you and me in the sun and sea
    I'll offer my arms to yours
    It seems to me, no mystery
    Well it isn't
    So I'll try hard to speak

    Well I sat down next to a living hell
    Tried my best until I struck out
    Movement is not mine
    I stood in the way pretending that I was the vine
    But no failure will proceed from a mouth that drinks it's wine

    [Chorus]
    And it's not me
    Not my sanctity
    These aren't my words to you
    It's all clear when it's not from here
    So clear
    So I'll try not to speak
