When You Speak

when you speak,
we never say a word
when you speak,
you argue with yourself
when you speak,
you have all the answers
when you speak,
we're checking our e-mail

when you speak,
it's done so eloquently
when you speak,
you steal all the words
when you speak
there's nothing left to say
when you speak
there is no other way

when you speak,
do you love how it sounds
when you speak,
thoughts pile all around
when you speak,
we kiss the soil beneath your feet
when you speak,
we agonize in defeat

it's not tongue in cheek
every time you repeat
how special you are
how special you are
there's no doubt to speak
every time we see
how special you are
how special you are
