Iambic Pentameter Songtext
von Weezer

Don′t give up
Darling, don't give up on me
Even if I kick and scream
I′m saying all that I can
I need someone to understand

I can't explain
I can't express these sentiments
I try, but I implode instead
It hurts my heart, it hurts my head
Don′t even know where to begin

I wish I could say it all to you in iambic pentameter
I′d improvise high notes like Thelonious when he's jamming it
I′d let it all out and there's no doubt you would help me understand
What the hell is inside this messed up head
And you′d always be here for me


But that's not it
That′s not what I meant at all
No, you're not getting it at all
You gotta try, keep coming back
'Cause I′m a hard nut to crack

A jumbled mess tangled up in a Gordian Knot
All my mom could do was talk
And wonder why she couldn′t reach
Her silent child, try as she might

I wish I could say it all to you in iambic pentameter
I'd improvise high notes like Thelonious when he′s jamming it
I'd let it all out and there′s no doubt you would help me understand
What the hell is inside this messed up head
And you'd always be here for me

You and me together holding on for life
You and me together trapped under the ice
You and me together, you and me forever
You and me together

Seasons come and seasons go
Where they stop, no one knows
Round and round and round we go
Back to a place we′ve never been to before


I wish I could say it all to you in iambic pentameter
I'd improvise high notes like Thelonious when he's jamming it
I′d let it all out and there′s no doubt you would help me understand
What the hell is inside this messed up head
And you'd always be here for me
