Words Don't Come So Easily

Lower Than Atlantis

I'm sitting opposite you
On this table for two
You reach for your glass
And I reach for mine
You're drinking water, I'm drinking wine

I'm looking around the room
Avoiding eye contact with you
Where's the waiter
Where is this meal
My lips are moving, your lips are sealed

But the words that I spoke they got stuck in my throat
As I started to choke you just laughed and you joked
People started to stare as I fell off my chair
And I'm gasping for air but you don't seem to care

Words don't come so easily
When you're in front of me
Cat give me back my tongue please
Words don't come so easily
When you're in front of me
Cat give me back my tongue please

I'm thinking as I eat
Biting cutlery and chipping my teeth
You've let in my lungs
Repenting my tongue
'Cause on the bright side I've just written this song

But the words that I spoke they got stuck in my throat
As I started to choke you just laughed and you joked
People started to stare as I fell off my chair
And I'm gasping for air and you don't seem to care

Words don't come so easily
When you're in front of me
Cat give me back my tongue please
Words don't come so easily
When you're in front of me
Cat give me back my tongue please

Open mouth
Scream and shout, nothing out
Open mouth
Scream and shout, nothing out
Open mouth
Scream and shout, nothing out
Open mouth
Scream and shout, nothing out

Open mouth (Words don't come so easily)
Scream and shout, nothing out (When you're in front of me)
Open mouth (Cat give me back)
Scream and shout, nothing out (My tongue please)
Open mouth (Words don't come so easily)
Scream and shout, nothing out (When you're in front of me)
Open mouth (Cat give me back)
Scream and shout, nothing out (My tongue please)
Open mouth (Words don't come so easily)
Scream and shout, nothing out (When you're in front of me)
Open mouth (Cat give me back)
Scream and shout, nothing out (My tongue please)
