lyrics

I want to cry, I want to cry
Because of what I learned
Sometimes when you’re quiet
You’ve got to shout to be heard

I thought that you were like a bird and you were getting ready to fly away
I thought that you were ready to fly away

I didn’t know you didn’t show
I thought you were happy
Sometimes when you’re quiet
You’ve got to shout to be heard

I thought that you were like a bird and you were getting ready to fly away
I thought that you were ready to fly away

Do you think that you can find the words to say all the things you’ve got to say
Can you ever find the words to say all the things that you’ve got to say
Can you say it can you can you say it can you say

I want to cry I want to cry
I didn’t know I didn’t know
You didn’t show you didn’t show
I thought you were happy
Sometimes when you’re quiet
Sometimes when you’re quiet
You’ve got to shout to be heard

Hard to pick a fave from this record but gun to my head I'd have to say In the Stars for the Brian Wilson vibe and most excellent vocals. chrometop
