All Those Words
Michael Trent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought that this might be a good way to start
Though we've never spoken you've broken my heart
I love you like gun powder loves a good spark
I walk by your house almost every day
I shoveled your sidewalk while you were away
I'd talk to you if I knew what I would say

I'll take my time
Patiently holding the line
And on the perfect night
All those words suddenly
Flow like water out of me
Fill your ears
And lovingly, flood your heart

I watched as your love looked over your charms
I washed as he promised to never do harm
Then I watched as he drew himself out of your arms
I sent you a letter anonymously
Whispered to your bartender that one's on me
When you slipped in the subway
I held onto your sleeve

There's nothin' that I'd rather do
'Cause, for me it has always been you
So when I get the cue
All those words suddenly
Flow like water out of me
Fill your ears and lovingly
Flood your heart

Take my time
Patiently holding the line
But when I make you mine
All those words suddenly
Flow like water, out of me
Fill your ears and lovingly
Flood your heart

All those words suddenly
Flow like water out of me




Fill your ears and lovingly
Flood your heart

He wishes he could find the right words to talk to them, but he is paralyzed by his feelings.


The chorus reveals that he is biding his time patiently and waiting for the right moment to express all his feelings.

Discovered these two in 2011 opening up for Justin Townes Earle @ Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto....JTE is a man of straight up great musical taste, so it makes sense he'd have these two on his bill. Haven't listened in years, and just stumbled upon this. Very talented souls right here.
