I want the words

something you haven't heard

will I find them and

will I have what it takes to say them

in the world beside

this one there are no lies and

no suspicion

only dreams without end

You gotta feel what I mean

Look into my eyes and know

I'm trying to come clean

But I stumble every time

And then the words they escape

fail to take shape

It's all in the code now (come again)

Feel what I mean

Look into my eyes and know

I'm trying to come clean

But I stumble every time

And then the words they escape

fail to take shape

It's all in the code now

Will you let me retract let me take it back

Sometimes my words lack and my mind flies off the track

What I'm trying to convey is miles from what I say

And you slip away

In life there are times

when nothing will rhyme

there are days I slip

when I know I should climb

breakin' the vows I swore I'd never break

a harsh word a white lie easy to mistake

where have you been

haven't you noticed

there's no map that exists

to point us out of this

my heart was the target

it found your arrow

baby you know I want to be

your straight and narrow

I been trying to transmit a feeling

I been hoping you receive what I'm revealing

See the main thing is hang with me and relate

As we communicate watch out

Fenced in like a dog between houses

Balled up by the trouble my mouth gets

Wrapped up in the things that I don't know

don't you know

Hoping that you crack the code oh

The first to crack the code

(You may not think I'm ready to have your love again) oh oh

(You may not think I'm ready)

You are the first to crack my code

I want the words

something you haven't heard

will I find them and

will I have what it takes to say them

You gotta gotta feel what I mean

Look into my eyes and know

I'm trying to come clean

But I stumble every time

And then the words they escape

fail to take shape

It's all in the code now

Didn't I know I'm wrong wrong wrong when you knew

You didn't have to give me so long long long to see through

Not predictable what I will do but you know

Cause you cracked the code

Your body is a country

that you know I'll return to

craving like a family heirloom

that I am into

no baby how could I follow

everything you do

just remember when we touch

I feel so renewed

The first to understand me that would be you

It can't work if we can't be open and true

The best thing to happen to me let it be told

That would be the moment that you cracked my code oh oh

The first to crack the code

(You may not think I'm ready to have your love again) oh oh

(You may not think I'm ready)

You are the first to crack my code
