Words I Never Heard
Kirk Francis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pick her up on a Sunday morning
When I'm kinda feelin' low
Hit the road and we'll keep on going
Just us, we can be alone
I'm a little bit scared
Where it's all in her head
Gone to mine
Baby give it some peace
Going out on the cheap on the 405

And I couldn't quite bring my own my mouth to say
"You know I love you so" (I tell her I'm scared)
I realize, you see, what she's got up in these dreams
And she may never know

Take a look at the news today and
You'll know that you're on your own
I can wait in the car if you want, I don't mind
Don't just sit by the phone
If you're finding it hard to relate
Look around (look around)
Just take the time if you need to come and play
What you found (what you found, you found, you found)

And I couldn't quite bring my own my mouth to say
"You know I love you so" (I tell her I'm scared)
I realize, you see, what she's got up in these dreams
And she may never know
I realize, you see, what she's got up in these dreams
And she may never know




I realize, you see, what she's got up in these dreams
And she may never know

Pick her up on a Sunday morning
On a gloomy Sunday morning when I am feeling low, I will pick her up


When I'm kinda feelin' low
On a day when I am really down and out


Hit the road and we'll keep on going
Let's escape the world and embark on a journey together


Just us, we can be alone
When it's just us, we can be in our own little world


I'm a little bit scared
I am a bit frightened of what's going to happen next


Where it's all in her head
What's going on in her mind and what she's thinking about


Gone to mine
Let's escape reality


Baby give it some peace
Just relax and let go


Going out on the cheap on the 405
Let's take a cheap trip on the 405


And I couldn't quite bring my own my mouth to say

I understand the content of her dreams and thoughts


And she may never know
She may never understand the depth of my feelings for her
