Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Dashboard Confessional - The secret's in the telling ------------------------------------------ The signal is subtle We pass just close enough to touch No questions, no answers We know by now to say enough With only simple words With only subtle turns The things we feel alone for one another There is a secret that we keep I wonŽt sleep if you wonŽt sleep Because tonight may be the last chance weŽll be given We are compelled to do what we must do We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden So I wonŽt sleep if you wonŽt sleep tonight Our act of defiance We keep this secret in our blood No paper or letters We pass just close enough to touch We love in secret names We hide within our veins The things that keep us bound to one another There is a secret that we keep I wonŽt sleep if you wonŽt sleep Because tonight may be the last chance weŽll be given We are compelled to do what we must do We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden Until the last resilient hope Is frozen deep inside my bones And this broken fate has claimed me And my memories for its own Your name is pounding through my veins CanŽt you hear how it is sung? And I can taste you in my mouth Before the words escape my lungs And IŽll whisper only once... There is a secret that we keep I wonŽt sleep if you wonŽt sleep Because tonight may be the last chance weŽll be given We are compelled to do what we have to We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden ŽCause you will be somebodyŽs girl And you will keep each other warm But tonight I am feeling cold
