From:
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
Cuz if you heard anything
You didnīt hear it from me
Iīm sweeping up the seconds
That tick off the clock
Save them all for later
When Iīm 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 in life is
The thing called tact
And if your hourīs so intently listening
Then the smartest thing to say
Is to tell myself not to say a thing
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet
Donīt let it all come undone
Cuz if I dare open my mouth
Itīll just be to bite my tongue
To bit my tongue
I said Iīm always close-minded
With an open mouth
And the worst of me
Seems to come right out
But Iīve never broken bones
With a stone or a stick
But Iīve conjured 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
Donīt let it all come undone
Cuz if I dare open my mouth
Itīll 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
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
Donīt let it all come undone
Cuz if I dare open my mouth
Itīll 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
Donīt let it all come undone
Cuz if I dare open my mouth
Itīll just be to bite my tongue
Bite my tongue
