Lyrics:

And I find that I have trouble saying what I want in a four minute song.
Thoughts and feelings and words and needs and what I’ve felt all along.
I’ve written three four five no a dozen but just can get the words right
How do you paint what you hear in music, how do you sing a sight?

Every great composer, every famous pop star, every rocker sings the same words.
Every great singer, every great ballad, it's the same every love song I’ve heard.
Guitar, piano, four chords and “I love you” and it all sounds just fine.
So how do I take whats been said for forever now that their feelings are mine?

Cause it's all been said so many times, how do I sing it now?
Finally it's all real to me, but I just cant figure out how.

How do I tell you that when you walk in the room, the whole world seems to start?
How do I tell you that when I feel your touch my words trip over my heart?
How can I try to write you the perfect song when I can barely sing?
How can four chords be enough to tell you you’re everything, you’re everything?

Now I’ve tried poems and I’ve tried ballads but every time I pick up a pen,
the same words spill out, ink on the paper, crumpled to a ball again.
Cause every time that I try to express it, it comes out a jumbled mess.
Every time I mean every word but i want to sing, not confess

Cause it's all been said so many times, how do I sing it now?
Finally it's all real to me, but I just cant figure out how.

How do I tell you that when our eyes meet a smile springs to my face?
How do I tell you every time you're in pain, I cry “God let me take her place!”
How can I try to write you the perfect song...girl I can barely sing
How can four chords be enough to tell you that you're everything, you're everything?

Now it's all come out in a rush, yet still I’m just at the start.
Infinite wishes, infinite longing, infinite depths to my heart.
Four chords sung over four minutes to guess at a four letter word
And I hope that somehow through my scattered ramblings, once and for all you've heard:

That every time you speak my name I want you to say it once more.
Every time that I give up you give me something new to try for,
I will never write you the perfect song, but I hope that you now see,
No matter what I want, I need you to know you are everything, you’re everything, to me.

Yes you're everything, you're everything to me.
You are everything, everything.

Love is too much to try to express when confined to a four minute song.
