What Do You Say

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?
