Say Something
Attica Riots Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to say something to you
Today
I've let so many chances
Slip away

Remember when we passed in the doorway
And I tripped into you, said I was sorry
Well my eyes, they followed you like a story, baby

What better time than then?
It'll never be perfect my friend

I want to say something to you
Today
I've let so many chances
Drift away

Remember when I spent all my money
And you laughed because you thought it was funny
You said, our world turns without it, honey
What better time than now?
It'll never be perfect anyhow

Remember when the days got colder
And we walked until the night was older
And you let your dress slip off your shoulder, baby
Things have never felt so right

I wanna tell you
There's something I've been dying to say
I wanna tell you
I'm taken by you more every day
I wanna tell you
But my tongue is twisted up in my head
I wanna, I wanna, I la la la la la la

I want to say something to you
Today
I've let so many chances
Slip away

Remember when we passed in the doorway
And I tripped into you, said I was sorry
Well my eyes, they followed you like a story, baby

Things have never felt so right

There's something I've been dying to say
There's something I've been dying to say




There's something I've been dying to say
There's something I've been dying to say
