leaving cardboard houses - nothing to say lyrics

Loading...

[hook]
nothing to say-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay-ayyy

nothing to say-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay-ayyy
oh

[verse 1]
let’s talk about writer’s block
cause when it comes to conversations all i wanna do is talk
but the moment i sit down with pen or keyboard in my hands
words evade my thoughts with prejudice i’m sure you understand

well, you shouldn’t! and well, neither should i!
cause i’ve got a whole lot i wanna say before the day i die
in a world full of beauty, love, brokenness and zeal
why can’t i seem to lyrically express all i see and feel?

out there, wars wage, hearts change, storms rage
meanwhile, in my head, i’m still trapped in a cage
where a schism in my lyricism between perfectionism and my creative vision dictates what i say

now i sit, watch the blinking cursor and feel uneasy
i know it revels in this song’s hypocrisy
cause apparently, i care more about sounding good than sharing meaning

oh-oh

[chorus]
i don’t have much time
it’s worth more every day
and here i am stuck
with nothing to say

i’m wrapped in arms of love
but i’m no stranger to pain
yet here i am lost
with nothing to

[hook]
say-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay-ayyy

nothing to say-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay-ayyy
oh

[verse 2]
i’m kinda confused, with what i’m trying to do
how to follow through writing this song for you
got a million ideas makin’ their way through my brain
but i can’t find a way to put them onto my page

climbing a mental ladder into my head’s attic
tryin’ to find words that sound good; but not sporadic
wanna say something meaningful while i’m at it
writing a song about writing songs is problematic

what am i even trying to say?
why do i even write these songs anyway?
what’s the point of all this? what’s the point of life?
pursuing truth’s how i want my lyrics defined

but right now, i don’t know if i’m doing that well
what if i’m just writing music to sell
i don’t want this to be about money or fame
i pray i’m doing this for more than just my name

oh-oh

[chorus]
i don’t have much time
it’s worth more every day
and here i am stuck
with nothing to say

i’m wrapped in arms of love
but i’m no stranger to pain
yet here i am lost
with nothing to

[hook]
say-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay-ayyy

nothing to say-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay-ayyy
oh

[bridge]
every day kids take their lives cause they feel alone
every day someone gives up cause they’re losing hope
and a grieving child wishes they’d picked up the phone
every day finds another lost soul missing home

but every day also sees a bright sunrise ahead
(ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay)
every day children laugh; joyful tears are shed
(ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay)
every day sees a lonely soul make a new friend
(ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ayyy)
every day the son reclaims lost souls from death

this life is wrought with danger but filled with light
(ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay)
even amidst pain, hope brings us out of the night
(ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay)
faith leads the way and restores our sight
(ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ayyy)
and at the end of it all, love leads the fight

if even one word of my song can warm a heart
if my voice can draw light from the dark
then i wanna sing until my breath gives way
until i’ve got something worthwhile to

[hook]
say-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay-ayyy

[chorus]
(nothing to say-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay)
i don’t have much time
(ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay)
it’s worth more every day
(ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay-ayyy)
and here i am stuck
with nothing to say

(ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay-ay)
i’m wrapped in arms of love
(ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay)
but i’m no stranger to pain
(ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay-ayyy)
yet here i am lost
with nothing to

[hook]
say-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay
ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay-ayyy
something to say
