Lyrics
Stop, taking for granted
Stop taking things for granted
I am the one who's wrong
Acknowledging one's own mistakes
You might be surprised
Expressing the potential for surprise
Time standin' still - seems like we don't belong
Feeling out of place as time seems to stand still
You'll realize
Realizing the truth or reality of a situation
Start giving to me all you can
Asking for more effort or generosity from someone
Stop telling me girl just where I stand
Requesting not to define the relationship or status
Chorus:
Chorus: Encouraging the other person to express themselves
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
Asking the person to share their knowledge or feelings
One I've not heard before
Desiring to hear something new and different
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
Expressing concern about the other person's ability to communicate
You can't say it all in a word
Emphasizing that complex emotions can't be summed up in a single word
Life turns around
Highlighting the cyclical nature of life
Time not to look away
Encouraging to face reality and not look away
And face what you see
Stressing the importance of truth in communication
Truth shows itself - watch everything you say
Being cautious about words spoken, as they reveal truth
When you're talking to me
Emphasizing the significance of communication in the relationship
You find yourself just in time
Encouraging self-discovery and realization
No don't be afraid of what you'll find on the way
Advising not to fear the discoveries on the journey
Chorus:
Chorus: Reiterating the call for open communication
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
Encouraging the other person to share unique insights
One I've not heard before
Expressing a desire for novel and unheard perspectives
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
Expressing concern about the other person's ability to express themselves
You can't say it all in a word
Reiterating that complex emotions cannot be encapsulated in a word
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
Repeating the call for open communication
One I've not heard before
Reiterating the desire for unique and unheard perspectives
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
Reiterating concern about the other person's ability to communicate
You can't say it all in a word
Reiterating that complex emotions can't be summed up in a single word
(Instrumental break)
Instrumental break
Chorus:
Chorus: Once again emphasizing the importance of open communication
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
Encouraging the other person to share their knowledge or feelings
One I've not heard before
Expressing a desire for novel and unheard perspectives
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
Reiterating concern about the other person's ability to express themselves
You can't say it all in a word
Stressing that complex emotions cannot be encapsulated in a word
No you can't say it all in one word...
Final emphasis that a single word is insufficient to express everything
