Say You Will
Graham BLVD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I've got to say can't wait
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say "I love you" in a song
Yeah, I know it's kind of strange
I just run out of things to say
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say "I love you" in a song
'Cause every time the time was right
All the words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say "I love you" (I love you) in a song
Yeah, I know it's kind of late (it's kind of late)
I hope I didn't wake you
But there's something that I just got to say
(I know you'd understand)
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say "I love you" in a song
