If there's something I don't say

Give me 'til the words come easy and not a minute longer

But now you've got to come to my rescue once in a while

I know you like to phone it in but can you give a little backbone to it?

It'll go a long way

So don't do it if you don't have to

Everybody goes there sometimes

Let it be a bad dream and wake up in a cold sweat

I know you gotta do it your own way

If you're ever gonna get through it

Have you made your mind up yet?

And if I give you 'til the words come easy

Am I gonna be around to see the day?

I can't tell you how to, you gotta be ready

When the time comes running

Even if I'm not coming

If there's something I don't say

Give me 'til the words come easy and not a minute longer

But now you've got to come to my rescue once in a while

I know you like to phone it in but can you give a little backbone to it?

It'll go a long way
