Songtext 3 minute song Josh Wilson

3 minute song

I tried to write a song
And keep it three minutes long
Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt

And I've tried a thousand times
To fit God between the lines
But I'm finding out that doesn't really work

I just don't have the words to say
Cause words only get in my way

I must apologize
I have the hardest time
Finding some way to define a God
I just can't define
And even if I could
It would take way to long
If all I have is a three minute song

I've got a hundred metaphors
If I had a million more
I would never ever seem to sum this up

Besides, how can some melody
Communicate eternity?
It's like trying to fit the ocean in a cup

I'll never find the words to say
Cause words only get in my way

I must apologize
I have the hardest time
Finding some way to define a God
That I can't define
And even if I could
It would take way too long
If all I've got's a three minute song

I would like to dumb this down
To three chords or maybe four
But I've tried and I can't and I won't
Cause there will always be more

So I apologize
I can't seem to get it right (mmm)

I must apologize
I have the hardest time
Finding some way to define a God
I just can't define
And even if I could
It would take way too long
If all I've got's a three minute song
All I've got's this three minute song
