No Need To Explain



There are certain songs that you listen to, pay attention to the lyrics and think "Man I wish I could say this to someone. This is just how I feel." Very rarely, do you find one that it is EXACTLY what you want to say, word by god-forsaken word.

This one is for you. For my old friends, old lovers, my new friends, old and new heartbreaks...every single one of you. Every word. All for you.

"If I Could"

A brand new baby was born yesterday
Just in time
Papa cried, baby cried
Said "Your tears are like mine"
I heard some words
From a friend on the phone
That didn't sound so good
The doctor gave him two weeks to live
I'd give him more if I could

You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could

Down the middle drops one more
Grain of sand
They say that
New life makes losing life easier to understand
Words are kind
They helped ease the mind
I'll miss my old friend
And though you gotta go
We'll keep a piece of your soul
One goes out
One comes in

You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
