“Come Right Out and Say It” Song Lyrics

From the album, Five Score and Seven Years Ago, by Relient K

I better rest my eyes
Cause I'm growing weary of this point you've been trying to make
So rather than imply
Why don't you just verbalize all the things that you're trying to say

Thought this would turn out so well
But I'm beginning to see that instead its trouble
Into a pattern we fell
Of prolonging the inevitable

Why don't you come right out and say it
Even if words are probably going to hurt
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don't you come right out and say
Come right out and say
What it is you're thinking though I'm thinking its not what I want to hear

I better check my pride
Because I was starting to think that I was on to something good
But things started to slide
And I sit here in retrospect understanding that I misunderstood

Thought I could make up your mind
You had a decision locked up so tight it couldn't be touched
Thought you were being so kind
By keeping your mouth sealed shut rather than just opening it up

And I'll try to guess what goes on in your head
Cause in your mind I just might find
All those things you left unsaid
And I'll try to make you not regret anything
But later on after I'm gone
You'll wish you listened to me

Why don't you come right out and say it
Even if the words are going to hurt we're better off this way
Why don't you come right out and say
Come right out and say
What I know you're thinking anyway

Relient K With Five Score And Seven Years Ago – Relient K’s fifth album in seven years and the follow up to 2004’s mmhmm, the band’s third consecutive Gold album – some are bound to ask, has the pop-punk band, ahem, matured a bit? Well, yes – sort of. While the new album isn’t chockfull of their characteristic puns and concludes with an 11-minute, 115-track tour de force entitled “Deathbed,” rest assured, Relient K has not lost its quirky sense of humor.
