To try taking a picture of you
When I look at it
nothing comes through
Sometimes I wonder
if you're just a ghost
And I wonder who's
haunting you most
I tried describing you
to all my friends
But they just told me
to polish my lens
You're sweet generous
my sweetheart
I don't even know where to start
Even Da Vinci
couldn't paint you
Stephen Hawking
can't explain you
Rosetta Stone
could not translate you
I'm at a loss for words
I'm at a loss for words
I couldn't put it in a novel
I wrote a page
but it was awful
Now I just want to
sing your gospel
I'm at a loss for words
I'm at a loss for words
I looked you up
on ancestry.com
There was no record of
Dad or of Mom
It's like you fell straight
out of the sky
And left the scholars
to figure out why
I like to think that
I know quite a lot
But with you it feels
like I forgot
I wish that I could explain
who you are
But when I try to I never get far
Even Da Vinci
couldn't paint you
Stephen Hawking
can't explain you
Rosetta Stone
could not translate you
I'm at a loss for words
I'm at a loss for words
I couldn't put it in a novel
I wrote a page
but it was awful
Now I just want to
sing your gospel
I'm at a loss for words
I'm at a loss for words
We've come so far
now here we are
We made it through the night
I know we will be strong
cause still
Everything will be alright
Even Da Vinci
couldn't paint you
And Stephen Hawking
can't explain you
Rosetta Stone
could not translate you
I'm at a loss for words
I'm at a loss for words
I couldn't put it in a novel
I wrote a page
but it was awful
Now I just want to
sing your gospel
I'm at a loss for words
I'm at a loss for words
I'm at a loss for words
I'm at a loss for words
