THE 7TH WORD
©2001, sockdrawer music



I’m chasing this dream – i’ve got a few chords
And I’m just riding on the 6 – traveling north
I’m thinking this thought – since I just got on
I think that I’m the only one on this train who realizes what just went wrong 

	Jolie – I just missed falling in
      Jolie – I just missed falling in
      You sped off in that taxi
      Before i said that 7th word
      Now i’m afraid you only heard
      Jolie – I just missed falling in…

She wasn’t looking for a cushion – she’s only got 1 life
But she was searching for a softer landing and a peaceful flight
So now she’s going for that graceful exit
before I give her one that she don’t like
And I know that i’m the only one thinking about it on this uptown ride…

		{ch.}

Loose bricks fall on deaf sidewalks
But I should’ve heard them a couple blocks away
cause all that scaffolding was all but taken down
I saw you speed away but I swear I still feel lucky to this day…

		{ch.}

you missed the 7th word 
you’ll never fall in love 
’cause you’re always missing the word
