3 minute song Lyrics
I tried to write a song
And keep it three minutes long
Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt
And I've tried a thousand times
To fit God between the lines
But I'm finding out that doesn't really work
I just don't have the words to say
Cause words only get in my way
I must apologize
I have the hardest time
Finding some way to define a God
I just can't define
And even if I could
It would take way to long
If all I have is a three minute song
I've got a hundred metaphors
If I had a million more
I would never ever seem to sum this up
Besides, how can some melody
Communicate eternity?
It's like trying to fit the ocean in a cup
I'll never find the words to say
Cause words only get in my way
I must apologize
I have the hardest time
Finding some way to define a God
That I can't define
And even if I could
It would take way too long
If all I've got's a three minute song
I would like to dumb this down
To three chords or maybe four
But I've tried and I can't and I won't
Cause there will always be more
So I apologize
I can't seem to get it right (mmm)
I must apologize
I have the hardest time
Finding some way to define a God
I just can't define
And even if I could
It would take way too long
If all I've got's a three minute song
All I've got's this three minute song
And keep it three minutes long
Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt
To fit God between the lines
But I'm finding out that doesn't really work
Cause words only get in my way
I have the hardest time
Finding some way to define a God
I just can't define
And even if I could
It would take way to long
If all I have is a three minute song
If I had a million more
I would never ever seem to sum this up
Communicate eternity?
It's like trying to fit the ocean in a cup
Cause words only get in my way
I have the hardest time
Finding some way to define a God
That I can't define
And even if I could
It would take way too long
If all I've got's a three minute song
To three chords or maybe four
But I've tried and I can't and I won't
Cause there will always be more
I can't seem to get it right (mmm)
I have the hardest time
Finding some way to define a God
I just can't define
And even if I could
It would take way too long
If all I've got's a three minute song
All I've got's this three minute song
