Benchmarks - Liner Notes lyrics

Sometimes I wait for you in places Where we might get to speak And we can talk a while about the weather And you probably don't notice How I hang on every breath And a prayer that I might just say something clever Because there's things I'd like to tell you And there's things I'd like to know But tonight, we'll have to settle for movies and records Because everything that I could say Has been said by better men before And I can't bear the thought to give you lesser But I don't need to find my place In those songs they wrote I just want to find my way into Your Liner Notes So in a few clever lines A repetition and a rhyme Alliteration and some subtle imagery I see your face a thousand times In every song that they could write Configuration of my heart on their sleeves But I don't need to find my place In those songs they wrote I just want to find my way into Your Liner Notes Someday I'll bring poets and prophets From their feet and to the ground Until then, I'll see you around So when you think my feet are dragging Or I'm fumbling on my words Or my balance seems a little less than sturdy Please don't let it be off-putting I'm just running through my head For a few good words for you that could be worthy Could be worthy But I don't need to find my place In those songs they wrote I just want to find my way into Your Liner Notes
