Lower Than Atlantis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On this table for two
You reach for your glass
And I reach for mine
You're drinking water, I'm drinking wine
I'm looking around the room
Avoiding eye contact with you
Where is this meal
My lips are moving, your lips are sealed
But the words that I spoke they got stuck in my throat
As I started to choke you just laughed and you joked
People started to stare as I fell off my chair
And I'm gasping for air but you don't seem to care
Words don't come so easily
When you're in front of me
Cat give me back my tongue please
Words don't come so easily
When you're in front of me
Cat give me back my tongue please
I'm thinking as I eat
Biting cutlery and chipping my teeth
You've let in my lungs
Repenting my tongue
'Cause on the bright side I've just written this song
But the words that I spoke they got stuck in my throat
As I started to choke you just laughed and you joked
People started to stare as I fell off my chair
And I'm gasping for air and you don't seem to care
Words don't come so easily
When you're in front of me
Cat give me back my tongue please
Words don't come so easily
When you're in front of me
Cat give me back my tongue please
Open mouth
Scream and shout, nothing out
Open mouth
Scream and shout, nothing out
Open mouth
Scream and shout, nothing out
Open mouth
Scream and shout, nothing out
Open mouth (Words don't come so easily)
Scream and shout, nothing out (When you're in front of me)
Open mouth (Cat give me back)
Scream and shout, nothing out (My tongue please)
Open mouth (Words don't come so easily)
Scream and shout, nothing out (When you're in front of me)
Open mouth (Cat give me back)
Scream and shout, nothing out (My tongue please)
Open mouth (Words don't come so easily)
Scream and shout, nothing out (When you're in front of me)
Open mouth (Cat give me back)
Scream and shout, nothing out (My tongue please)
"Words Don't Come So Easily" is a song performed by Lower Than Atlantis and appears on their fourth studio album. The song is about a man who is struggling to find words to say to the person he's sitting opposite on a table for two. He finds it hard to express his feelings, and it's causing him to choke on his words. The man is struggling to communicate in front of the other person he's infatuated with. Instead, he's preoccupied with avoiding eye contact and looking around the room. However, he finds solace in the fact that the experience provides inspiration for a song he will eventually write.

I'm sitting opposite you
I'm right in front of you
On this table for two
We're sitting at a table meant for two
You reach for your glass
You grab your drink
And I reach for mine
I do the same for mine
You're drinking water, I'm drinking wine
We're drinking different drinks, you're having water and I'm having wine
I'm looking around the room
I'm avoiding eye contact and scanning the area
Avoiding eye contact with you
I'm not willing to look at you
Where's the waiter
I'm wondering where the waiter is
Where is this meal
I'm questioning when the food will arrive
My lips are moving, your lips are sealed
I'm trying to talk, but you're not responding
But the words that I spoke they got stuck in my throat
I tried to say something, but it was hard to say
As I started to choke you just laughed and you joked
You found it funny that I was struggling with my words
People started to stare as I fell off my chair
Others noticed my discomfort and watched as I fell out of my seat
And I'm gasping for air but you don't seem to care
I'm struggling to breathe, but you're not concerned
Words don't come so easily
I find it difficult to express myself
When you're in front of me
Being around you makes it harder to communicate
Cat give me back my tongue please
I wish I could find the words to say what I want to say
I'm thinking as I eat
As I eat, I'm lost in thought
Biting cutlery and chipping my teeth
I'm biting down on my utensils, damaging my teeth
You've let in my lungs
I've breathed in something, possibly choking on my food
Repenting my tongue
I regret not being able to find the words earlier
'Cause on the bright side I've just written this song
At least I've turned this experience into something creative
Open mouth
Trying to speak
Scream and shout, nothing out
Failing to find the words to express myself
