Words
Givers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The words we say today, we’ll say
And we’ll see them again, we’ll see them again

So I choose my words so carefully
Like the sun, make it glow, or they glare at me
Well, I choose light
I like that warm
Keep me up at night

And I pry that door of honesty
And as the warmth shines in it dawns on me
That I choose light
To guide me through my actions at night

The words we say today, we’ll say
And we’ll see them again, we’ll see them again
The words go out so far, and come back so hard
And we’ll see them again, we’ll see them again

So just hold up, don’t fold up
Before you know, before you know, before you know, you’ll know
You’ll see it again, you’ll see it again

And if your notion is your motion
Before you know, before you know, before you know, you’ll know
You’ll see there’s no end, yes you’ll see there’s no end
End, end, end, end

The waves high, slow tide, see them, go I
You’ll see them again, you’ll see them again
And if the waves ride high, then so will I
Before you know, before you know, before you know, you’ll know
You’ll see them again, you’ll see them again

The words we say, today, we’ll say
And we’ll see them again, we’ll see them again
The words go out so far, and come back so hard
Yes we’ll see them again, we’ll see them again

The words we say, the words we say
The words we say, the words we say




So I’ll choose my words so carefully
I’ll choose my words so carefully
