Lyrics

Pretty Words

Pretty words

Like ones you've never heard

Oh, those pretty words

What can they say?

It felt like the first summer's day

When I heard those pretty words

Oh, those pretty words

Oh, those...

Pretty words

Like ones you've only overheard

They hang together like pearls

And I can't even say

Do you feel so much better now?

Now you've heard those pretty words

Oh, those pretty words

Oh, those...

Oh, those pretty words

They hang all around me now

Like a nicotined string of pearls

I'm falling inside her now

When there is that sound you hear

And it feels like everything

And it feels like everything

And it feels like...

And you're just such a pretty one

You make everything feel undone

Waiting for those hands to come

Waiting for those hands...
