How Can I Tell Him

歌詞

It's the morning after And we're on a train zigzagging 'cross the countryside On our way home from a party That turned insane He dozes off on my shoulder Wakes up suddenly, apologizes Looks the other way So tell me how Tell me how I can tell him I love him So tell me how The neighbor came a-knocking Said she'd call the cops He said, "I'll turn down the stereo" Pretended to adjust the volume knob He's my best friend And we can talk about anything As long it's about nothing As long as it don't cut deeper than the skin Tell me how Tell me how I can tell him I love him So tell me how Tell me how I can tell him I love him, so Tell me how I mean I guess he knows Just like I know when he says something funny and I laugh from my belly Or when Sandra left him and I held him when he cried For a moment he left his guard down and so did I But it's so deep within me, the way a man should be Passed on through generations of men before me A line drawn in the sand to keep us apart A rusty, old padlock hanging on our hearts So tell me how [Outro] We part ways at the station He's got his bike and he rides into the gap 'Tween day and night Before he's gone he shouts, "Later, dude" I think, "Yeah I love you too"
