I tried to write a song and keep it 3 minutes long Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt And I tried a thousand times to fit God between the lines But I'm finding out that doesn't really work I just don't have the words to say 'cause words only get in my way I must apologize, I have the hardest time Finding something to define a God that I can't define And even if I could, it would take way too long If all I've got's a 3 minute song I've got a hundred metaphors and if I had a million more I could never ever seem to sum this up Besides how can some melody communicate eternity It's like trying to fit the ocean in a cup I never find the words to say 'cause words only get in my way I must apologize, I have the hardest time Finding something to define a God that I can't define And even if I could, it would take way too long If all I've got's a 3 minute song I would like to dumb this down to 3 chords or maybe 4 But I've tried and I can't and I won't 'cause there will always be more So I apologize, I can't seem to get it right I must apologize, I have the hardest time Finding something to define a God I just can't define And even if I could, it would take way too long If all I've got's a 3 minute song Well, all I've got's a 3 minute song, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
