Lyrics
[Intro]
Tonight
I've got something to say
(Uh, yeah, uh)
[Verse 1]
Started with a blank page
Three little chords and a melody
Didn't know where it would go (Yeah, uh)
Till I pictured you standing next to me
I tried to make it complicated
Turned every feeling into poetry
But every line kept circling back
To something simpler than it seemed
[Pre-Chorus]
(Whoa) Looking for the right words
(Oh) Searching for the perfect verse (Whoa)
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know? (Whoa, whoa)
Pages on the table (Whoa)
None of them say what I'm able to
[Chorus]
I don't need a perfect phrase
I don't need a thousand ways
When you're standing here beside me
Everything just falls in place
No, I don't need a grand display
Or some beautiful cliché
If you wanna know what's on my mind
It's you, it's you, every day
[Verse 2]
Read every line from every great book
Tried to find a sentence with the perfect look
But I'm still stumbling when you look at me (Uh)
Like every word just disappears completely
Had a melody that sounded so right
Stayed up writing half the night
Then you smiled and suddenly I knew
There was nothing left to prove
[Chorus]
I don't need a perfect phrase
I don't need a thousand ways
When you're standing here beside me
Everything just falls in place
No, I don't need a grand display
Or some beautiful cliché
If you wanna know what's on my mind
It's you, it's you, every day
I don't need a perfect phrase
(I don't need a perfect phrase)
I don't need a thousand ways
(I don't need a thousand ways)
Every little thing you do
Makes the words come out brand new
No, I don't need a grand display
(There's no need for yesterday)
If you wanna know what's on my mind
It's you, it's you, every day
[Bridge]
Now I'm stepping off the spotlight
Let the room fade into blue
No clever lines, no disguise
Just the truth I've got for you
If my voice starts shaking
If I don't know what to say
Maybe that's the honest part
Maybe that's the better way
Whoa, oh
Whoa, whoa
[Pre-Chorus]
(Whoa) Looking for the right words
(Whoa) Searching for the perfect verse (Uh, yeah)
Pages on the table
But I don't need them anymore
[Chorus]
I don't need a perfect phrase
(I don't need a perfect phrase)
I don't need a thousand ways
(Don't need a thousand ways)
When you're standing here beside me
Everything just falls in place
No, I don't need a grand display
(There's no need for a grand display)
Or some beautiful cliché
I just wanna tell you what I feel
In the simplest way
I don't need a perfect phrase
(I don't need a perfect phrase)
I don't need a thousand ways
(Yeah, uh)
Every road I've taken somehow
Always seems to lead here now
No, I don't need a grand display
(There's no better way)
If you wanna know what's on my mind
It's you, it's you, every day
[Outro]
Tonight
I've got nothing rehearsed
Just a little truth
And maybe that's enough
I don't need the perfect line
I don't need to make it rhyme
All I know is when you're near
Everything feels right
And maybe that's okay
