| [00:12.75] |
I was gonna spell it out |
| [00:24.92] |
In detail but |
| [00:25.55] |
I dropped the call |
| [00:26.98] |
Before I spilled my guts |
| [00:28.30] |
The floor stayed clean |
| [00:30.86] |
Like my conscience would be |
| [00:33.55] |
'cause if you heard anything |
| [00:34.42] |
You didn't hear it from me |
| [00:35.99] |
I'm sweeping up the seconds |
| [00:36.87] |
That tick off the clock |
| [00:37.61] |
Save them all for later |
| [00:38.42] |
When I'm too ticked to talk |
| [00:39.49] |
And I need some time |
| [00:40.68] |
To search my mind |
| [00:41.86] |
To locate the words |
| [00:43.05] |
That seem so hard to find |
| [00:45.30] |
And sometimes I say things that |
| [00:48.04] |
I wish that I could take back |
| [00:50.61] |
The most crucial thing in life is |
| [00:52.24] |
The thing called tact |
| [00:56.05] |
And if your hour's so intently listening |
| [00:59.11] |
Then the smartest thing to say |
| [01:03.24] |
Is to tell myself not to say a thing |
| [01:06.68] |
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet |
| [01:08.99] |
Don't let it all come undone |
| [01:13.00] |
'cause if I dare open my mouth |
| [01:15.50] |
It'll just be to bite my tongue |
| [01:18.19] |
To bit my tongue |
| [01:19.50] |
I said I'm always close-minded |
| [01:22.88] |
With an open mouth |
| [01:24.38] |
And the worst of me |
| [01:25.87] |
Seems to come right out |
| [01:27.20] |
But I've never broken bones |
| [01:28.50] |
With a stone or a stick |
| [01:29.82] |
But I've conjured up a phrase |
| [01:31.25] |
That can cut to the quick |
| [01:32.44] |
And sometimes I say things that |
| [01:35.50] |
I wish that I could take back |
| [01:38.37] |
And the smartest thing to say |
| [01:39.81] |
Is to tell myself to keep |
| [01:41.44] |
Quiet quiet |
| [01:42.63] |
Don't let it all come undone |
| [01:46.44] |
'cause if I dare open my mouth |
| [01:49.81] |
It'll just be to bite my tongue |
| [01:52.13] |
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet |
| [01:55.94] |
Listen to your voice |
| [01:57.69] |
Because the power of your words |
| [02:00.50] |
Can repair all that I destroyed |
| [02:03.88] |
And when I finally do |
| [02:07.00] |
Let it come from you |
| [02:08.88] |
The peace of understanding |
| [02:11.31] |
grips my soul |
| [02:14.57] |
The reason I |
| [02:17.38] |
Have meaning in this life |
| [02:20.44] |
Is so I swallow all my pride |
| [02:23.69] |
And give you control |
| [02:25.13] |
I give it all to you |
| [02:31.38] |
And I gotta keep quiet quiet |
| [02:33.32] |
Don't let it all come undone |
| [02:36.81] |
'cause if I dare open my mouth |
| [02:39.63] |
It'll just be to bite my tongue |
| [02:42.50] |
I gotta keep quiet quiet |
| [02:44.69] |
Listen to your voice |
| [02:47.88] |
Because the power of your words |
| [02:50.06] |
Can repair all that I destroyed |
| [02:53.56] |
And I gotta keep quiet quiet |
| [02:55.75] |
Don't let it all come undone |
| [02:59.00] |
'cause if I dare open my mouth |
| [03:02.26] |
It'll just be to bite my tongue |
| [03:05.13] |
Bite my tongue |
