Speak Easy (Speak Nothing)
Again, more.
Speak easy, speak nothing
Speak a million words in a million ways
Speak it all to me without solving the problems we see
Speak it all but we’ll say nothing
In a tangled mess all your big words from your tattered dictionary
Flow from your mouth to my head and you think I need an explanation
Only if it’s of your complication because I own a dictionary too
And I’ve read it through and through and once again just to discern
But I’ve figured if you speak nothing, I mean really speak nothing
Maybe I’ll die, I’ll let my feelings die
Maybe this tie of all connections we have will break off and float to the sky
I’ll speak easy of a love from the past
I’ll be old, but it won’t last
I’ll see options, so many that I‘ll have, but I won’t make them my opportunity
For something else to have but not have, to love and not stop
And be hurt again
No thank you, I’m done with that ball and chain
But I can pretend, I can climb the mountain, from the top I can shout
Be easy, be free, look at me, but I’ll just speak nothing, I won’t be free
I’ll just imagine that you weren’t for me
You say if I want the best, go love the rest
But not the one that isn’t good enough, but settle, please settle
You must find love though it’s not everything
And you must settle, baby, please settle
Best and settle don’t sound habitual, not together side by side
So I’m confused just a little and this is how nothing is spoken
Contradictions and round about ways to show your affection is a token
Speak easy, speak nothing
Speak a million words in a million ways
Speak it all to me without solving the problems we see
Speak it all but we’ll say nothing
In a tangled mess all your big words from your tattered dictionary
Flow from your mouth to my head and you think I need an explanation
Only if it’s of your complication because I own a dictionary too
And I’ve read it through and through and once again just to discern
But I’ve figured if you speak nothing, I mean really speak nothing
Maybe I’ll die, I’ll let my feelings die
