If there's something I don't say
Give me 'til the words come easy and I don't need it longer
But now you've got to come to my rescue once in a while
I know you like to phone it in but can you give a little back bone to it
It'll go a long way

So don't do it if you don't have to
Everybody goes there sometimes
Don't let it be a problem if you wake up in a cold sweat
I know you got to do it your own way
If you're ever gonna get through it
Have you made your mind up yet?

And then I give it 'til the words come easy
Am I gonna be around to see the day
I can't tell you how to be
Are you gonna be ready when the tide comes running
And if I'm not coming

So if there's something I don't say
Give me 'til the words come easy, and I don't need any longer
And now you've got to come to my rescue one of these days
I know you like to phone it in but can you give a little backbone to it
It'll go a long way
