Intro: Verso 1: I tried to write a song, and keep it 3 minutes long Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt And I tried a thousand times to fit God between the lines But I’m finding out that doesn’t really work Pré-Refrão: 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 something 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 3 minute song Verso 2: I’ve got a hundred metaphors, and if I had a million more I could 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 Pré-Refrão: 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 something 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 3 minute song Ponte: I would like to dumb this down to 3 chords, or maybe 4 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 I must apologize, I have the hardest time Finding something 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 3 minute song
