[Intro] Sometimes my words come rising straight up from my head But most of all the words I have stay in my heart and belly [Verse 1] Often shy and easy to miss but never colorless or pale They don’t always want to be loud though sometimes they break through When my heart jumps and my belly itches words are smoke that soon will vanish They come laughing, rushing by then drift away before too long [Chorus] Heart and belly Heart and belly When my heart jumps and my belly itches Heart and belly Heart and belly My words go drifting by [Verse 2] Once the words have been spoken some boundary has been broken They were healing, bold, or cheeky but my heart was in the right place Sometimes all my words just want to stay tucked inside my head They fear the way that you might answer or the price that comes instead [Chorus] Heart and belly Heart and belly When my heart jumps and my belly itches Heart and belly Heart and belly My words go drifting by [Bridge] They want to soothe you, softly hold you whisper tenderly, unafraid And they want to tell the one I love my heart is glad because of her Yes, they want to tell the one I love my heart is glad because of her [Chorus] Heart and belly Heart and belly When my heart jumps and my belly itches Heart and belly Heart and belly My words go drifting by [Outro]
