We Don’t Have The Words

I drove down South in a used white Saturn
Watched the clouds in rolling patterns
With my doubts hanging out in back
In Charlottesville someone snapped my antenna
I sang myself all the way to Atlanta
The moon was out, the sky was charcoal black

Chasing taillights in the night
Sometimes there's nothing to decide
Like songbirds we know what we know
Even though we don't have the words

All alone with a stranger's address
Stereo and a futon mattress, down the road
With all I owned between the lanes
I told her twelve, but it was much later
I found myself rolling into Decatur
The stars were out and shined down like rain

And I can't remember every part
Sometimes facts obscure the heart
Lines get blurred
But we know what we know
Even though we don't have the words

Time goes by, dreams of fragile flowers
Left to die

At five AM, don't know what I was feeling
I watched the fan turn round the ceiling
Like who I am, who I've been all the way
But as the light fell through a dirty window pane
I knew I knew something I couldn't explain
No win or lose just moves with no mistakes

And I tried to put it in a song
But every time in came out wrong
So I prefer to say
I know what I know
I know what I know
I know what I know
Even though I don't have the words
