I want the words
something you haven’t heard
will I find them and
will I have what it takes to say them
in the world beside
this one there are no lies and
no suspicion
only dreams without end

You gotta feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I’m trying to come clean
But I stumble every time
And then the words they escape
fail to take shape
It’s all in the code now (come again)

Feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I’m trying to come clean
But I stumble every time
And then the words they escape
fail to take shape
It’s all in the code now

Will you let me retract let me take it back
Sometimes my words lack and my mind flies off the track
What I’m trying to convey is miles from what I say
And you slip away

In life there are times
when nothing will rhyme
there are days I slip
when I know I should climb
breakin’ the vows I swore I’d never break
a harsh word a white lie easy to mistake
where have you been
haven’t you noticed
there’s no map that exists
to point us out of this
my heart was the target
it found your arrow
baby you know I want to be
your straight and narrow

I been trying to transmit a feeling
I been hoping you receive what I’m revealing
See the main thing is hang with me and relate
As we communicate watch out
Fenced in like a dog between houses
Balled up by the trouble my mouth gets
Wrapped up in the things that I don’t know
don’t you know
Hoping that you crack the code oh

The first to crack the code
(You may not think I’m ready to have your love again) oh oh
(You may not think I’m ready)
You are the first to crack my code

I want the words
something you haven’t heard
will I find them and
will I have what it takes to say them

You gotta gotta feel what I mean
Look into my eyes and know
I’m trying to come clean
But I stumble every time
And then the words they escape
fail to take shape
It’s all in the code now

Didn’t I know I’m wrong wrong wrong when you knew
You didn’t have to give me so long long long to see through
Not predictable what I will do but you know
Cause you cracked the code

Your body is a country
that you know I’ll return to
craving like a family heirloom
that I am into
no baby how could I follow
everything you do
just remember when we touch
I feel so renewed

The first to understand me that would be you
It can’t work if we can’t be open and true
The best thing to happen to me let it be told
That would be the moment that you cracked my code oh oh

The first to crack the code
(You may not think I’m ready to have your love again) oh oh
(You may not think I’m ready)
You are the first to crack my code
