about
You Said aims to capture the feeling of despair when you push yourself to a limit and find that all the pushing has left you unable to grasp what you desire at the final moment of possibility. The verses and choruses are upbeat with a smooth, prog inspired bridge all surging to a final, exciting climax. Oh. Yeah.
lyrics
Verse 1
This is a crowded place
But you're standing out
Nothing glistens like your face
If you want I got more
I'll launch you like a kite
To fly apart, against the night
There is, something
Eating away at me
What must you think of me
Oh my God that's some caress
My body salivates
An angel's kneeling on my chest
Chorus
I got all the things you like
I'm just not myself to
Verse 2
Then I kiss your lips
Come streaming back to earth
I was so high this is gonna hurt
Maybe it's my fingertips
I've never had the greatest grip
When my ideals begin to slip
Or is it you?
You're not my friend
This is not how I planned this
It's not how it's supposed to begin
Wild smile and mired eyes
Give me your hands
Show me your hands
This is not how I feel I feel like a man
Chorus
I got all the things you like
I'm just not myself tonight
You said
I said
You said
You said
And I said
What was it you said?
What was it you said?
Say it
Say it again
Say it again
Say it again
Say it
Verse 3
What was it you said?
I'm not myself
I can't tell
I'm not myself
Goodbye, goodnight
Goodbye, goodnight
Please don't leave
I'm not myself
Can't you see?
I'm not myself
Goodbye, goodnight
Goodbye, goodnight
