Restraint: 7. Speechless

Pretty much, this song is my attempt to make a version of Robin Holcomb's "So Straight and Slow". I've already tried recording a cover of it, so I may retire this song eventually.

The first draft of the lyrics tried to deal with writing lyrics the same way "The One to Make You Whole" dealt with writing music. It didn't really work with the melody. So for a second draft, I kept the chorus but turned the verses into a love song. It's taken me a while to warm up to this second draft, but it sounds better with the melody.
