[Verse 1]
It sounded so much better in my mind, mind
I guess I messed it up again this time, time, time
There's something else that I wanted to say, say
But my twisted tongue got in the way, way, way

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, my mouth is moving without thinkin'
Ooh, my brain and mouth on different systems
Why can't you see my side of things?
I've been thinkin' 'bout it ever since

[Chorus 1]
I wish I said this, I wish I said that
But I kinda froze in my tracks
I wish I said this, I wish I said that
But I kinda had a panic attack
I wish I could talk good
I wish I could talk, I wish I could talk
I wish I could talk good

[Verse 2]
Rerun the conversation in my head, head
Think of all the things that I should've said instead

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, my mouth is moving without thinkin'
Ooh, my brain and mouth on different systems
Why can't you see my side of things?
I've been thinkin' 'bout it ever since
[Chorus 1]
I wish I said this, I wish I said that
But I kinda froze in my tracks
I wish I said this, I wish I said that
But I kinda had a panic attack
I wish I could talk good
I wish I could talk, I wish I could talk
I wish I could talk good
I wish I could talk good
I wish I could talk, I wish I could talk
I wish I could talk good

[Bridge]
My words, my mind
Are worth all your time
My words, my mind
Are worth all your time
I don't wanna be a puppet getting caught on your line
I come back to these words every time

[Chorus 2]
I wish I said this, I wish I said that
But I kinda had a panic attack
I wish I said this, I wish I said that
But I kinda froze in my tracks
I wish it went the way it went in my head
But it kinda crashed and burned instead
Why does it always end up like this and I
So badly wish I could talk good (Said this, said that)
I wish I could talk, I wish I could talk
I wish I could talk good
I wish I could talk good (Said this, said that)
I wish I could talk, I wish I could talk
I wish I could talk good
