Why Can't We Say What's Going On

from Life Our Own Way by David Heatley

/

lyrics

You – you’re smiling at me
And you can see
I’m lost in your loveliness
Why can’t we say what’s going on?

I – just came here to play
But you have a way
And I’m at my clumsiest
Why can’t we say what’s going on?

It should be easy to fall in each other’s arms and unwind
So what’s stopping us?
Maybe what’s blocking us…
We both think this is just in our minds?
No.

I - believe that it’s real
And I can feel
That you believe something too
So why can’t we say what’s going on?

You’re – touching my hand
While the rest of the band
Is in the other room
So I’ll try to say what’s going on…

It should be simple… I’ll just lean in close and kiss you
If that’s okay
And then you say…
You want to know, when this is over, will I miss you?
YEAH!

It’s so easy… we both just needed to say
These few simple words
I’m yours
And you’re mine
