What did you say?

Did you really mean it that way?

Usually where we’re at

makes a difference

How they take us

*

What do you mean by that?

Is that a matter of fact

Or something

off the top of your head 

You just said

in the moment?

**

What did I say?

I didn’t mean it that way

Usually my point gets across

There’s no way

that I can fake it

*

What did I mean by that?

It is just a matter of fact

Or something

That came to my head

that I just said

In the moment 

**

Two events

Two courses of action

are not connected

by any driving force

but somehow

they connect in meaning

When I say it

It makes sense

When I do it

I can’t comprehend

When I say it

Freudian slips

Sinking ships

When I do it

I feel less tense

When dreams commence

There is no power as immense

**

What  is there to say?

Is there any other way?

Usually where they are at

makes a difference

How they take us

*

What do you mean by that?

Is that a matter of fact

Or just something

Stuck in your head 

You have said

Since the beginning

*

What did you say?

How should I take it?

Say it again

And until the end

And I will never fake it

***

Rushing is wrong

But sometimes

A raw reaction rules

Like when we open up honestly

And surprise all the fools

*

Fools fight truth

And plain decency

Fighting for lies

Causing pain they can’t see

Because their heads are filled with pride

And they think they know best

Embracing abuse

And misinformed ties

Never put to the test

**

Could this be me

Or could this be you?

I realize what I think

is not always true

*

I’m a fool for love

And for an off moment too

Not saying I’m off target

Sometimes it’s hard to get through

Could we get further

with better

understanding

Without hesitation to improve

Share a little more

with everything we do

**

Rushing is wrong

And reckless moves can

wreck everything

Like when we act without reason and

Mess up times in our life

*

Life finds truth

With innate empathy

Guiding more lights

Easing strain we can’t see

Together heads are filled with more might

Shared perspectives know best

Avoiding abuse and needless fights

Helping pass any test

**

This could be me

Could this be you?

I realize what I think

Sometimes makes it true

*

I want lifelong love

And for every moment too

Not saying I’m so far gone

Sometimes it’s hard to get through

Could we get further

with better

understanding

Without hesitation to show virtue

Share a little more

with everything we do
