I can’t put it across, I ain't been here before
I can’t seem to find the words inside me anymore
Baby I’m at a loss, when before I was sure
I can't seem to find that feeling that I’m looking for
Trying to find the perfect line that fits, but an alternative way of saying it
Wanna write another kind of authentic rhyme
That could even nearly start to define what it is you are to me
Yeah what you are to me
It won’t work with a waltz, it's not four to the floor
I can’t seem to find the form that I am looking for
It won’t fit into a 7/8, I can’t stretch it out to 5/4
I need music to translate it like it did before.
I keep searching for a way to find that beat
It seems I'm heading down a lyrical one way street
I've been wasting days on a turn of phrase
Just looking for the perfect way to say
What you are to me, you are to me
You are to me, what you are to me
I tried singing it out, I tried whispering low
But I can't describe this feeling, can't get in the zone
I can't figure out, I can't into flow
It's like trying to find the meaning when the dream has gone
Knowing that it's right on the tip of my tongue
I'm waiting for the moment I know it's done
Adding melody to harmony
I'm a turn it into something to make you see
What you are to me, you are to me,
What you are to me, you are to me
I'm chasing signs, elusive lines
I open up but words just fail me every time
Why they making me wait and refusing to create
Until inspiration finds the language to convey
What you are to me, you are to me,
What you are to me, what you are to me
You are, you are, you are to me, you are
