A Forest Of Pronouns Songtext

Yes, questions
coming up on the autocue
and I'm open to suggestion
but can I say the same for you?
So lost in the forest of pronouns
that I can't see the wood for the trees.
Got to face up to the showdown
between you, me and him, which is we?
Strange language fills my head:
[It isn't written, you can take it as read
if you dare to believe it
the buts stop where the arrow's sped,
this is the main chance,
take it or leave it.]
It isn't written but still I take it as read.

I heard the grass growing under my feet -
oh, princess, what might have been?
Once your kisses were so bittersweet
flr bbo,nhrr l
that I got caught in the in-between.

Strange voices came and went
[It isn't certain, but it's 90%, yeah, you'd better believe it.
The buck stops when the arrow's spent, this is the get-out,
take it or leave it.]
If I'm uncertain still I leave it unsaid.

I can't take it, can't leave it.

Yes, questions - though responses remain unsure
still I stay open for suggestions - for this there's no simple cure.
And I got lost in the forest of pronouns
so I can't see the wood for the trees.

Strange language floods my head
[It isn't certain, but it's 90%, yeah, you'd better believe it.
The butts stop where the arrow's sped, this is the get-out,
take it or leave it.]
It isn't writtendo I take it as read?

I can't take it, can't leave it.
