Word By Word Lyrics

All of the voices
Spelling it out
Where are the plans you're thinking about

Rest him assured
It comes overnight
Writing it down, then tearing it up

If I could tell you
Gradually
Word by word, you'd take it from me

It would be over
Instantly
Landing us where you thought we would be

This is a fav of mine. I put it on my 2010 Autumn Chill mix.

I think the song really speaks for itself. Its about someone planning to tell someone that they have feelings for them, trying to write it all down but, unable to find the words. They imagine what would it would be like if they could just come out and say it. But in the end, they know that they are unable to.
