lyrics

V1
I get a break and I find myself thinking about you
Don't try the phone or text a message. No. So what I do
Is...
Grab a simple pen and paper
Figure out what thoughts to favour
Will it work, well, I'm not so sure
Maybe someday, I'll coin a new phrase

CHORUS
There you go
That's the trouble with clichés
Wouldn't you know?
Having trouble with clichés

V2
I clear my head and I realize it sounds a bit absurd
Still, my prose gets all tied up in other people's words
Needing you, I'm surprised
Is quite a thing to rhapsodize
Please forgive my compromise
My communiqué is what I don't say

CHORUS
There you go
That's the trouble with clichés
Wouldn't you know?
I'm in trouble with clichés / Having trouble with clichés
