[Verse 1]
February sky, dark and damp in the day
On the driver’s side, you’re an arm's length away
And you’ve been quiet as hell
I just fake a smile, and then it disappears
When you said you’ve been different since Christmas this year
And you thought I could tell
I am scattered inside, now so are my hands
As I over-correct and send us towards the sands
I thought I could do well
The wheels on top, crash right into a rut
You’re cut through the head and I’m just socked in the gut
Am I allowed to yell

[Chorus]
And scream and be heard over ambulance horns?
Would they push me aside and say you were hurt first?
I’m a stab, you’re a shot, I’m a little, you’re a lot
Can I scream and be heard?
Where are the words, where are the words?

[Verse 2]
We recover slow, days are harder to do
There are better times, but they’re becoming few
And you know I can tell
You can fake a smile, but it’s easy to guess
You feel like a vessel, you’re miserable at best
Oh, you’re allowed to yell

[Chorus]
And scream and be heard over ambulance horns
When they push you aside and say you were hurt first
I’m a stab, you’re a shot, I'm a little, you’re a lot
Can he scream and be heard?
Where are the words, where are the words?

[Bridge]
And no one else will listen
No one else will understand like you
No one else will tell the truth
I don’t want you to pretend
I just want you to listen, please do
I promise I will listen too, me too

[Chorus]
'Cause I don’t want to have to
Scream and be heard over ambulance horns
When they push us aside and say you were hurt first
I’m a stab, you’re a shot, I’m a little, you’re a lot
Can we scream and be heard?
Where are the words, where are the words?
(Scream and be heard)
Where are the words, where are the words?
(Scream and be heard)
Where are the words, where are the words?
