(Verse 1:)
You think you know but you don't
Wish I could read your mind but I can't so I won't
I wish that I could say what it is I'd like to say
Instead I've got my tongue twisted up and tied away
Yes I know that failure is a lesson
I've been guessing and stressing and trying to make up my decision
And oh, guess that's how life goes
Every time I want poetry she wants prose-
I'm trying to pick it up though
(Hook:)
Why can't I ever I get it though?
Damn, why can't I ever it though?
Why can't I ever I get it though?
Damn, why can't I ever it though?
(Verse 2:)
At least I got my brains, at least I got my wit
Watch me go on over, see the conversation slip
I'm feeling kinda twisted and yes I'm kinda sick
I try to counter, man I wish that I could hit and never miss girl
Yeah you know that things ain't easy
Try to understand and believe me
Oh girl, I want the real thing baby

He just wants to be honest with her but he can’t seem to find the rightway to say anything.
If anything he’s still got that beautiful mind of his to help him figure everything out.
Believe him that he is having just as much difficulty with all of this as she is and all he wants is the love they probably had before.
He questions whether this is still a real thing or if she’s only sticking around because she feels guilty for what they’ve been going through.
Every time he sees a negative situation coming he tries to avoid it but usually with this girl it’s either straight good or straight bad
Even though this has been a pretty big fail at a relationship he’s learning from their mistakes and trying to figure out where to go from here, although he’s the type that just goes with the flow.
Not quite sure on this one, but I think he’s been smoking a little to relieve the stress and isn’t really in the right state of mind for communication.
He’s a musician and finds his peace of mind in art, such as poetry and music. When he’s going for the way he knows best she just wants to talk. He feels he can’t keep up but he’s working on it.
This is all turning into one hell of a ride and he is just wondering what is he doing wrong.
Everything would be easier if he could just tell what was really on HER mind but he knows he can’t so it is what it is.
She thinks she knows what’s going through his mind but in reality she really doesn’t.
