I tried to write a song and keep it 3 minutes long   Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt   And I tried a thousand times to fit God between the lines   But I'm finding out that doesn't really work      I just don't have the words to say 'cause words only get in my way   I must apologize, I have the hardest time   Finding something to define a God that I can't define   And even if I could, it would take way too long   If all I've got's a 3 minute song      I've got a hundred metaphors and if I had a million more   I could never ever seem to sum this up   Besides how can some melody communicate eternity   It's like trying to fit the ocean in a cup      I never find the words to say 'cause words only get in my way   I must apologize, I have the hardest time   Finding something to define a God that I can't define   And even if I could, it would take way too long   If all I've got's a 3 minute song      I would like to dumb this down to 3 chords or maybe 4   But I've tried and I can't and I won't 'cause there will always be more   So I apologize, I can't seem to get it right      I must apologize, I have the hardest time   Finding something to define a God I just can't define   And even if I could, it would take way too long   If all I've got's a 3 minute song   Well, all I've got's a 3 minute song, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
