I was gonna spell it out
|
In detail but
|
I dropped the call
|
Before I spilled my guts
|
The floor stayed clean
|
Like my conscience would be
|
'Cause if you heard anything
|
You didn't hear it from me
|
|
I'm sweeping up the seconds
|
That tick off the clock
|
Save them all for later
|
When I'm too ticked to talk
|
And I need some time
|
To search my mind
|
To locate the words
|
That seem so hard to find
|
|
And sometimes I say things that
|
I wish that I could take back
|
The most crucial thing I lack is the thing called "tact"
|
And if you're always so intently listening
|
Then the smartest thing to say
|
Is to tell myself not to say a thing
|
|
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet
|
Don't let it all come undone
|
'Cause if I dare open my mouth
|
It'll just be to bite my tongue
|
To bite my tongue
|
|
It seems I'm always close-minded
|
With an open mouth
|
And the worst of me
|
Seems to come right out
|
But I've never broken bones
|
With a stone or a stick
|
But I'll conjure up a phrase
|
That can cut to the quick
|
|
And sometimes I say things that
|
I wish that I could take back
|
And the smartest thing to say
|
Is to tell myself to keep
|
|
Quiet quiet
|
Don't let it all come undone
|
'Cause if I dare open my mouth
|
It'll just be to bite my tongue
|
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet
|
Listen to your voice
|
Because the power of your words
|
Can repair all that I destroyed
|
|
And when I finally do
|
Let it come from you
|
The peace of understanding grips my soul
|
You're the reason I
|
Have meaning in this life
|
Is so I swallow all my pride
|
And give you control
|
I give it all to you
|
|
And I gotta keep quiet quiet
|
Don't let it all come undone
|
'Cause if I dare open my mouth
|
It'll just be to bite my tongue
|
I gotta keep quiet quiet
|
Listen to your voice
|
Because the power of your words
|
Can repair all that I destroyed
|
And I gotta keep quiet quiet
|
Don't let it all come undone
|
'Cause if I dare open my mouth
|
It'll just be to bite my tongue
|
Bite my tongue
|
