Ineffable

[Verse 1] Coffee’s cold Words keep circling the drain Tongue-tied, tightrope Tiptoeing around your name Every time I try to say it Letters crumble in my hands All these almosts Scattered like rubber bands [Pre-Chorus] It’s in the pause between my breaths That half-laugh stuck in your chest Like thunder that just won’t break Right there at the edge [Chorus] It’s ineffable More than anything I’ll ever say On the tip of my soul Slipping every time I chase the phrase I could write a thousand lines Still fall short every time You’re that unreachable Beautiful Ineffable [Verse 2] Beat-up boots Humming down a gravel road Old scars, new truth Sunburn on these dreams I hold You’re a porch light in a downpour You’re the crack in every mask Country sky over the city In the middle of the past [Pre-Chorus] How do I paint what has no color A fire that never shows flame Just this hush beneath the thunder Calling out my name [Chorus] It’s ineffable More than anything I’ll ever say On the tip of my soul Slipping every time I chase the phrase I could write a thousand lines Still fall short every time You’re that unreachable Beautiful Ineffable [Bridge] Rap it quick then choke on air Every rhyme just stops and stares You’re a steel string bent to breaking Blues in every note I’m faking (oh) You’re a choir in a dive bar Mosh pit wrapped in open arms Soft and loud at once I’m shaking Can’t explain it, still I’m stating [Chorus] It’s ineffable More than anything I’ll ever say On the tip of my soul Slipping every time I chase the phrase I could write a thousand lines Still fall short every time You’re that unreachable Beautiful Ineffable [Outro] So I quit trying to spell it Let the silence make its sound If you feel this too, don’t tell it Just breathe in and breathe it out Uncertain, undeniable Whatever this is now Ineffable
