Verse 1:
I tried to write a song, and keep it 3 minutes long
Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt
And I tried a thousand times to fit God between the lines
But I’m finding out that doesn’t really work
Pre-Chorus:
I just don’t have the words to say, cause words only get in my way
Chorus:
I must apologize, I have the hardest time
Finding something to define a God that I can’t define
And even if I could, it would take way too long
If all I’ve got’s a 3 minute song
Verse 2:
I’ve got a hundred metaphors, and if I had a million more
I could never ever seem to sum this up
Besides, how can some melody communicate eternity?
It’s like trying to fit the ocean in a cup
Pre-Chorus:
I just don’t have the words to say, cause words only get in my way
Chorus:
I must apologize, I have the hardest time
Finding something to define a God that I can’t define
And even if I could, it would take way too long
If all I’ve got’s a 3 minute song
Bridge:
I would like to dumb this down to 3 chords, or maybe 4
But I’ve tried and I can’t and I won’t cause there will always be more
So I apologize,
I can’t seem to get it right
Chorus:
I must apologize, I have the hardest time
Finding something to define a God that I can’t define
And even if I could, it would take way too long
If all I’ve got’s a 3 minute song
