There are only so many words
but i can't think of just one
to describe what im going through
there was time that i was lost
And i didn't know where to go
but then i found you sitting alone
and you told me it doesn't matter
what you've done
but what you going to do
that makes up the real you
(pre-chorus)
She said take off a load
and tell me whats going on----
So I sat there thinking of the words
that i couldn't write
about a boy who loves this girl
but he doesn't know what to say---
(chorus)
I said how do you do
whats going on
how do you do that thing you do
the one with that smile
that thing that makes me wild
those perfect little things
that make me write a song
all about you------
there comes a time in life
when you go out on your own
i know ive been there and all alone
but there wasn't a time
you weren't on my mind
Like a classic novel that sits on a shelf
you were there all along---
(bridge)
through all the bad days
even my crazy phase
the one where i peiced my ears
i realized you've been here all those years
but i didn't even know
but now that your here
take off a load
and tell me whats going on----
(pre-chorus)
She said take off a load
and tell me whats going on----
So I sat there thinking of the words
that i couldn't write
about a boy who loves this girl
but he doesn't know what to say---
(chorus)
I said how do you do
whats going on
how do you do that thing you do
the one with that smile
that thing that makes me wild
those perfect little things
that make me write a song
all about you------
(outro)
so when you think your lost
or that your nobody at all
take a good look in a mirror
and i'll say---
take off a load
and tell me whats going on
there isn't a time you were lost
you've been here all along------
(chorus)
I said how do you do
whats going on
how do you do that thing you do
the one with that smile
that thing that makes me wild
those perfect little things
that make me write a song
all about you------
