Lyrics
Stuck at a red light outside an adult bookstore
His son said, "Daddy, what are all those X's for?"
As the light turned green, he changed the subject fast
He started talkin' 'bout football as they drove right past
So what do you say in a moment like this
When you can't find the words, oh, to tell it like it is?
Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way
Let's get out of here, oh, what do you say?
17 years old, she was out with her friends
They started drinkin' at some party 'til she was three sheets to the wind
Her momma always told her she can call no matter what
She was cryin' on the front steps when her mom showed up
What do you say in a moment like this
When you can't find the words, oh, to tell it like it is?
Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way
Let's get out of here, oh, what do you say?
Sometimes, you gotta listen to the silence
And give yourself a little time to think
Her every breath is weaker than the last
And lately, when she sleeps, she talks about the past
Her husband knows she's tired of holding on
She looks at him and says I want to go home
What do you say in a moment like this
When you can't find the words to tell it like it is?
Just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way
Oh, what do you say?
Oh, just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way
Oh, what do you say?
Ooh, what do you say?
