[Verse 1]
After all we said today
The strangest thought occurred
I feel I ought to tell you
But it's clearly quite absurd
Wouldn't it be wonderful
If you could read my mind
Imagine all the stuff
That we could leave behind

[Chorus]
How many words you waste
Before you're understood
Or simply sow some seeds
You'd do it if you could
Let me take a moment
Of your time
Inside you mind

[Verse 2]
I know what you're thinking
But I don't know what to say
The turmoil and the conflict
You don't have to feel that way
Look into my eyes
And feel my hand upon your heart
Holding us together
Not tearing us apart

[Chorus]
How many words we waste
To justify a crime
Compare it to an act of love
That really takes no time
Why not take a moment
Of your time
Inside your mind

[Chorus]
How many words I wasted
You dont want to hear
Why dont sit in silence why money[?]
Why dont take a moment
Of your time
Inside your mind

[Outro]
After all this same today a strange thought occurred
I feel I should tell you its clearly quite absurd
