Better Words – Josh Cumbee

I’m just tryin’a tell you something that you never heard
Tryin’a say I love you with some better words
I’d talk about your body but that’s John Mayer
Tell ya lean on me but that’s Major Lazer (and Bill Withers)
I’m just tryin’a find a way to make it clear to you
I miss you ‘bout a hundred plus 82
You could be my Juliet instead of Taylor
I’mma pull Drake and want this shit forever, man

I was listening to love songs since age 3
Didn’t talk to a girl til about 13
She was in my high school, class back seat
Cheating off my homework, fine by me
We could do this thing vintage I’ll make you a mixtape
We’ll sit on the bleachers and jam during recess
I got a whole lotta things I wanna say to you
But John Lennon said better

I’m just tryin’a tell you something that you never heard
Tryin’a say I love you with some better words
I’d talk about your body but that’s John Mayer
Tell ya lean on me but that’s Major Lazer (and Bill Withers)
I’m just tryin’a find a way to make it clear to you
I miss you ‘bout a hundred plus 82
You could be my Juliet instead of Taylor
I’mma pull Drake and want this shit forever, man

She was in my web class sophomore year
College girls a little less judgy I hear
But she was getting notes from the back of the class
Dude in a tank top, frat frat frat
Is it worth your attention if I start to mention
The wonders of Stevie, “All of Me” by Legend
I got a whole lotta things I wanna say to you
But Chris Martin said it better

I’m just tryin’a tell you something that you never heard
Tryin’a say I love you with some better words
I’d talk about your body but that’s John Mayer
Tell ya lean on me but that’s Major Lazer (and Bill Withers)
I’m just tryin’a find a way to make it clear to you
I miss you ‘bout a hundred plus 82
You could be my Juliet instead of Taylor
I’mma pull Drake and want this shit forever, man

All grown up but you’re boys still shy
Instagram girl wanna just say hi
Working up the courage for first date line
Kinda strange sending hearts to a girl online
Sorry I was nervous, and totally wordless
I’ll buy you some ice cream I swear there’s no purpose
I got a whole lotta things I wanna say to you
But Ed Sheeran said it better

I’m just tryin’a tell you something that you never heard
Tryin’a say I love you with some better words
I’d talk about your body but that’s John Mayer
Tell ya lean on me but that’s Major Lazer (and Bill Withers)
I’m just tryin’a find a way to make it clear to you
I miss you ‘bout a hundred plus 82
You could be my Juliet instead of Taylor
I’mma pull Drake and want this shit forever, man
