Third Eye Blind - Say It lyrics

rate me

If I tell you what I really want, u just say shut up

You don't really wanna hear it, no

I try to be resolute, you reduce it down to cute

I tell you you're a coward, you say I'm a prostitute

And the mask goes dry, I know you've got something to hide

Can't you just say it? Say it, say it, say it one time?

Speak your mind! Oh, say it, say it, say it, I was so up, the sun went else

What's it like to know yourself?

I'll tell you what I want but I'll keep it kinda cryptic

I"m a zoothrope cipher on the tip of a triptych dagger

Whachya want?

Tell you what I need but I'll hate you if you miss it

Like to take a stranger's face in my hands

And kiss the taste of nowhere to hide

Yeah, the taste of nowhere to hide

I want you to say it, say it, say it, speak your mind!

Oh oh oh oh, say it, say it, say it, here comes the great dumb

What's a life if it's going alone?

Say it, say it, say it, what's going on here?

I swear you'll disappear if you don't say it, say it, say it

Take it down to the core! Or speak no more

You're just cheap love, you're just an escape route!

But you know, you know you know what makes you try again

(Interlude)

What's the matter with you?

Or the tunes you wanna do

You won't let anyone get near

Is it the critics you fear?

Blast them all and cut off your ear

And keep them all in your head

I reckon even when you're dead

No-one else could hear you

Nothing you'll write will ever match this

You shook about to that actress

Or the days that you've lived on matches

And the public they once knew

So look inside a curse and make a gift to the universe

And when you go I'm assuming that'll show

Say what you mean!

Say what you mean!

Say what you mean!

Say what you mean!

Say what you mean! Yeah, eh-yeah-eh-yeah!

(Guitar solo)

Say what you mean!

Say what you mean!

Say what you mean!

Say what you mean!
