Stumble

Stumble I’m no good at tests, babe I really must confess I keep trying to understand but then I second guess Seems every step I take, my legs just start to shake My head can’t seem to deal with another heartbreak I try to tell you all about it but my mind’s a jumble When I try to say the words babe all I do is mumble It makes me angry, makes me hurt and I start to grumble I’m trying to be strong for you , carry the load but I stumble I’ll be here till the end of time, go through the motions like a mime Pouring coffee to an empty chair, loneliness seems such a crime Our hearts synchronize, I hear you laugh see how you blink your eyes I fight the silence and always lose, babe I’m at the brink he cries I try to tell you all about it but my mind’s a jumble When I try to say the words babe all I do is mumble It makes me angry, makes me hurt and I start to grumble I’m trying to be strong for you , carry the load but I stumble Help me walk, hold my head straight, goddamn the distance we create Close the gap, bridge the span; join my heart to yours honey consecrate Bless us and keep us together, mated for life  we’re birds of a feather If it’s cold we’ll snuggle. Crank the AC if it’s hot so we can snuggle in any weather I try to tell you all about it but my mind’s a jumble When I try to say the words babe all I do is mumble It makes me angry, makes me hurt and I start to grumble I’m trying to be strong for you , carry the load but I stumble So let me lean on you, you can lean on me too We might stumble a lot, but we’ll get through Stumble with me babe, let’s stumble off into the sunset...
