I Want to Smile

from On a Receipt by Nel Gatlin

/

lyrics

Took so long to make it home / was such a foggy night

I want to speak in tongues for the rest of my life
I am so inspired
I'm sick of speaking my mind like anyone can hear
my words, like I am heard
Over the sound of my mistakes

I lose my train of thought ..

Where's my muse? No more blue
I want to sing poetry / I want to sing beautifully
I don't want to sing open wounds
I want to smile; I want to make you...

Where's my muse? No more blue
I want to run for miles / I want to run

I was hanging on last night
With my head to the ground and my feet upside

I want to hang around for the rest of my life,
but I fell and hit the ground
stood up, brushed off, and looked around
I was lucky that no one saw me

So I guess I'll speak more riddles like anyone can hear
my voice, like I am heard, over the sound of a talking crowd.
