[Verse 1]

Perfect circle burning purple, sunset on the red ladder

And an obvious hiding spot

Carve a smile, juvenile attempt at an apology

Can't be sincere through tensing teeth

[Chorus]

I can't say what I mean

So I let it out sideways

And if I could say what I mean

I'd still let it out sideways

[Verse 2]

Lips are zippered, I'm no songbird despite what good people think

Some secrets are a vital thing

'Cause who's to say that it is wrong

To catch a knife as it falls?

[Chorus]

And I can't say what I mean

So I let it out sideways

And if I could say what I mean

I'd still let it out sideways
