There are spaces between all the time as it flies
You say it’s hard to catch my eyes
Well sometimes I forget that you can see me too
When I look, when I look at you
So I just run away into a place with in my mind
It can be hard to stick around in these tenuous times
And digging through your self you never know what you might find
It’s just, oh, ummm… Never mind
Words aren’t worth my time
No, words aren’t worth my time
There are spaces between what you think and what you say
And it always comes out a different way
And by he time it makes sense it’s just too late
To actually communicate
So I just run away into a place with in my mind
I’m not running from you, I’m just running from some things I left behind
Cause digging through yourself you never know what you might find
It’s just, uhhhhh… Never mind
Words aren’t worth my time
No, words aren’t worth my time
There are too many ways to think and too many ways to feel
About the things that make you feel a bit too real
And mostly when I speak, I don’t say what I mean
I just focus on the spaces in between
And I don’t know where to run all the time
No. I don’t know where to run all the time
It’s just, oh, ummm… Never mind
Words aren’t worth my time
No words aren’t worth my time
