Well I might be politic
|
Or I might just grab your hand
|
I'm not selfish with my story
|
I just want something, understand
|
Oh, this world is not for grieving
|
It's not grieving for my cry
|
And I hate this growl inside
|
And you better believe it when I tell you
|
That it's all growing
|
Untill you learn to trust
|
|
Well this wash it wasn't easy
|
No this wash just doesn't dream
|
It just makes the whole thing cluttered, yes
|
And when you've seen the sights it's best to scream
|
I'm not stolen from the souless
|
I'm just driven to the white
|
So, you really ought to catch me now
|
You really ought to join the fight
|
And if I tell you all my secrets
|
That you ever wanted to hear - it's
|
|
Once and not speak
|
Once and not speak
|
Once and not speak
|
|
Well, no one wants to play this
|
Well, no one likes the dark
|
And we just checked in for higher love
|
Well, that's another - you like sparks
|
Well, I'll fly across the evening
|
Least, I'll smile across the hall to you
|
But it better not be fascinate
|
It beter just be wall-to-wall
|
And if I tell you all my secrets
|
That you ever wanted to hear - it's
|
|
Once and not speak
|
Once and not speak
|
Once and not speak
|
|
Well, I'm the tired recluse, yes
|
And I'm tired of this courtyrad
|
And every grateful day's the herdline
|
|
Well, the crafty were just leaving
|
They've forgotten how to talk
|
And that slither through the evening
|
Was just another kind of walk with me
|
Well, I'll tell you what you wanted
|
Leat I'll stunt you with my grace
|
And I know it's all so easy
|
But I just want to find your face
|
And if I tell you all my secrets
|
That you ever wanted to hear - it's
|
|
Once and not speak
|
Once and not speak
|
Once and not speak
|
