Lyrics for Can I Explain the Delay?
Emotions, emotions What do you feel now? It's been such a long time How can I explain the delay? Oh but I crave your intimacy I always trust implicitly How can you know if I'm speaking the truth or not? Can I keep you guessing? And I always build fences But sometimes not high enough In theory there's always problems problems In practice there are only to be dealt with How can you know if I'm speaking the truth or not? Can I keep you guessing? I always demand fidelity Preferring not to court catastrophe Honesty is always more simple in the long run How can you know if I'm speaking the truth or not? Do I have to do it this way?
