Indistinctly

The soles of my shoes wear away on the cement
until you tell me, you really tell me what you really meant.
My sighs reach my knees while my eyes plead softly.
I asked you to be honest but I guess that was too much to expect.

Now my fingernails are leaving trails through my brain
and your riddles are slowly complicating this game.
I'll ask you one more time if you really care but
as time goes on I'm finding it harder to listen.

So take my, take my, take my hand.
And I'll leave the questions behind.
So tell me, tell me, help me understand.
But don't say a word until you know what to say.

The breeze through the trees, it whispers to me.
A song with a melody that doesn't quite fit.
So rewrite the words to answer the question
but if you don't really want to, I guess that's just fine.

He said, she said, it said the melody is what needs to change well
I said, she said, we said the melody is what is just fine why does the leaf bleed?
Because it needs a melody to dance to before it's dead.
And I need, I need, I need a melody.
To change up the words to that song I once wrote.

So dance a little jig even though it's not over
and smile a little grin before it's too late.
The tree's song can wait because while I have you
I want you to know that I'll always be here.

My shoes now are held together with silver tape
and my hair's falling out from too many sighes.
But when I'm with you, my mind ceases to care
because even though it's not clear, I like passing the time.
