You finally found the words you thought you ought to say
And then it comes, a statement of great poignancy
And the esophagus gets prepped and ready
So the mouth it opens like it almost wanted to
And you walk around like me right when I laughed at you (?)
But is it really worth it? It takes so long to
Express something to someone in (gratitude?)

Came first as a christian man
Also fell in love and said he might know where
He might run down the kids and find that they're all done
Enjoying life as if it were made just for fun
But what they don't realize is there's a plan
To join as one and celebrate and start this band
And put together all the songs already known
And make it sound (something something) mashed potato
Oh what the kids don't know
It needs me so
Just let them go
