[acoustic guitar intro] [intro] I meant to say yes But my mouth said no It’s just my best guess Your reaction will show [verse] you don’t understand How this fork in the road Is causing my head To slowly implode [pre chorus] Where I end up After walking for days Looking for nothing The distance betrays [chorus] I meant to say yes But my mouth said no It’s just my best guess Your reaction will show How we both feel The direction we lean Different paths that we travel With miles between [verse] Not on the same page Don't see eye to eye Perspectives may change But you can rely [verse] On the fact of the matter And truth to be told The deal is real we're a sight to behold [chorus] I blurted out no But meant to say yes Your stare is disarming I have to confess That look you give me speaks volumes It's the reason we got into this mess [bridge] I can't say no I have to say yes Not just for us But for all we profess [verse] our like turned to love caught in the midst seeing the worst and the best of us mixed [outro] I won't say no I will say yes I will say yes
