A poem can make you head over heels
Or it can break your heart
A rallying cry can set your soul on fire
Or put it out before it even starts
Sometimes you hear a song so sad
It kind of makes it hard to smile
But when you hear one that makes you glad
The whole world disappears for a while
We're all wound up by these weird, weird words
Emotions stoked in sentences, in phrases filled with gold
We're all aching over weird, weird words
Words that help us, words that hurt
Words that hurt us or do worse, or do worse
The laugh of a child can make your anger mild
But its cry puts red in your eye
And an old man's tale might make you wail
But his dirty joke can make you sigh
And the love of your life has a voice like a knife
That'll cut you to the core
But it's got all the tricks to fix you up real quick
And it'll leave you wanting more, wanting more
We're all wound up by these weird, weird words
Emotions stoked in sentences, in phrases filled with gold
We're all aching over weird, weird words
Words that help us, words that hurt
Words that hurt us or do worse, or do worse
Get it out, get it out of your mind
You don't wanna keep wasting so much time
Thinking over, thinking over what you should have said
What you should not have said
Get it out of your head, get it out of your head
We're all wound up by these weird, weird words
Emotions stoked in sentences, in phrases filled with gold
We're all aching over weird, weird words
Words that help us, words that hurt
Words that hurt us or do worse, or do worse
