the hint of a spark

something keeps trying to come out
but it won't come out
something is trying to come out
but it hasn't come out
it's on the tip of my tongue
i can feel it
right there on the tip of my tongue
maybe you can hear it

i have something to say
but i've yet to find the words
they're coming
from the pit of my stomach
from the tips of my toes
they really don't have far to travel
i'm sure they'll be here soon

will you wait around to see them?
will you wait around to see?
i swear they'll be here
eventually

maybe i'll sing them
maybe i'll shout
there are words in there
they just haven't come out
