Sixpence None The Richer
"I Can't Explain"

Music & Lyrics by : Matt Slocum

I've wrapped myself up 
in a universe again 
and let the darkness quell 
my matchflame confidence 
and unwillingly I hide 
the lever I must find 
to release the deep 
the tears withheld inside 

but I can't explain 
I can't make sense of the 
things I'm saying 

the crystal tears 
are sliding down again 
your moonlit cheeks 
and soaking silken lips 
if this pain is so real 
there's a hand that someday must heal 
and give us the words
