Don't give up
Darling, don't give up on me
Even if I kick and scream
I'm saying all that I can
I need someone to understand

I can't explain
I can't express these sentiments
I try, but I implode instead
It hurts my heart, it hurts my head
Don't even know where to begin

I wish I could say it all 
To you in iambic pentameter ('tameter)
I'd improvise high notes 
Like Thelonious when he's jammin' it (jammin' it)
I'd let it all out
And there's no doubt you would help me understand
What the hell is inside this messed up head
And you'd always be here for me

But that's not it
That's not what I meant at all
No, you are not getting it at all
You gotta try, keep coming back
'Cause I'm a hard nut to crack

A jumbled mess tangled up in a Gordian Knot
All my mom could do was talk
And wonder why she couldn't reach
Her silent child, try as she might

I wish I could say it all 
To you in iambic pentameter ('tameter)
I'd improvise high notes 
Like Thelonious when he's jammin' it (jammin' it)
I'd let it all out
And there's no doubt you would help me understand
What the hell is inside this messed up head
And you'd always be here for me

You and me together
Holding on for life
You and me together
Trapped under the ice
You and me together
You and me forever
You and me together

Seasons come and seasons go
Where they stop no one knows
Round and round and round we go
Back to a place we've never been before

I wish I could say it all 
To you in iambic pentameter ('tameter)
I'd improvise high notes 
Like Thelonious when he's jammin' it (jammin' it)
I'd let it all out
And there's no doubt you would help me understand
What the hell is inside this messed up head
And you'd always be here for me
