Lyrics

I guess I choked- the night we walked the beach alone
I tried the words- another empty whisper
There was nothing I could say- it’s all been said a thousand times
A thousand different ways to push around the same old line
 
How can I make it real?
How can I make it new?
How can I make you see the world
The way I do?
 
I feel too much- sometimes it’s paralyzing
My heart goes numb just to keep from bursting
You thought that I was cold- slipped your coat around my shoulders
I’ve never been more alone… or more alive
 
How can I make it real?
How can I make it new?
How can I make you see the world
The way I do? (the way I do?)
 
I wanted it to be perfect- pure and uncontrived
I wanted to show you all the dreams that I’ve been painting
with the colors in your eyes…
 
How can I make it real?
How can I make it new?
How can I make you see the world
The way I do?
 
How can I make it real?
How can I let you know?
How can I ever say how much
I love you?
