Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yes, questions Coming up on the autocue And I'm open to suggestion But can I say the same for you? So lost in the forest of pronouns That I can't see the wood for the trees... Got to face up to the showdown Between you, me and him, which is we? [Pre-Chorus] Strange language fills my head: (It isn't written, you can take it as read if you dare to believe it) It isn't written but still I take it as read (The buts stop where the arrow's sped, this is the main chance, take it or leave it.) [Verse 3] I heard the grass growing under my feet – Oh, princess, what might have been? Once your kisses were so bittersweet That I got caught in the in-between [Pre-Chorus] Strange voices came and went (It isn't certain, but it's 90%, yeah, you'd better believe it) If I'm uncertain still I leave it unsaid (The buck stops when the arrow's spent, this is the get-out, take it or leave it.) [Chorus] I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it [Verse 3] Yes, questions (Yes, questions) – though responses remain unsure; (Though responses remain unsure;) Still I stay open for suggestions (Open for suggestions) – for this there's no simple cure (For this there's no simple cure) And I got lost in the forest of pronouns (Lost in the forest of pronouns) So I can't see the wood for the trees (So I can't see the wood for the trees) [Pre-Chourus] Strange language floods my head... (It isn't certain, but it's 90%, yeah, you'd better believe it) It isn't written... do I take it as read? (The butts stop where the arrow's sped, this is the get-out, take it or leave it.) [Chorus] I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it I can't take it, can't leave it [Outro] I can't take it I can't leave it I can't take it I can't leave it I can't take it I can't leave it I can't take it I can't leave it I can't take it I can't leave it I can't take it I can't leave it I can't take it I can't leave it I can't take it I can't leave it I can't take it I can't leave it I can't take it I can't leave it I can't take it I can't leave it I can't take it I can't leave it I can't take it I can't leave it
