I Nearly Said It

John

My lyrics, ai demo:

You laugh at something I’ve just said
Some silly thing I read today
We know we’re tryin’ to delay
What we really want to say

We’re holding hands across the table
We’re looking in each others eyes
This is when we should really try
But the moment goes on by

When will we find the words
To say what this thing deserves?

Oops, I nearly said it,
Did you nearly say it too?
It nearly crossed the distance
Between me and you
Wow, I nearly said it
Did you nearly say it too?

What if we’re both thinking it’s the other persons call?
What if both of us decide to say nothing at all?
Or what if one of us just whispered “I think you already know”
And all this careful distance finally had somewhere to go?

Whoa, I nearly said it,
Did you nearly say it too?
It nearly crossed the distance
Between me and you
There, I nearly said it
Did you nearly say it too?

There, I nearly said it
Did you nearly say it too?
Did you nearly say
I love you?
