Thinking Aloud

I was thinking aloud when I said that I loved you
Sounding out my feelings in so many words
Charting a course in imaginary waters
Not that I don't mean it, but I wish you hadn't heard

We were cruising along... I apologize
If when I named the destination I spoiled the surprise

Clock keeps ticking away racing my heart
I've been counting the days that we've been apart
How many times have I caved in to doubt
Sell myself short - count myself out
Some nights I stay home
Say that I'm tired

Admit to my weakness. Admit to my sins.
Admit to my fears when the loving begins.
Admit to my vanity. Admit to my pride.
But there's one thing I'll keep inside

Were you thinking aloud when you said you didn't love me
Testing the words to find out if they're true
Messing around with a look-ahead function
Maybe you can press undo...
I've got folders like that too
With revisions of me and visions of you

Clock keeps ticking away racing my heart
I'm counting the days til we'll be apart
How many times have I been saved by doubt
Let go of something I'm better without
Some nights I stay home
Say that I'm tired

Admit to my weakness. Admit to my sins.
Admit to my fears when the loving begins.
Admit to my vanity. Admit to my pride.
But there's one thing I'll keep inside
