Lyrics:

If you or I don't say it, who's going to
We can dance around it or dance for the truth
We sit here conjugating every variation through
The verb to do

Now I don't want to hang it all on you
If blame must be allotted, I'll take some too
But someone just said, 'Damn it, I need to be tonight with you'
The verb to do
If I don't seem to want it, if it won't show through
It's only because it has me paralyzed for want of loving you

So if you and I don't make it, well who's going to?
Why can't we just state it bold as blue?
Look out over this city, the first word they're taught to use
Is the verb to do
