Nobody Needs To Know

Hey, kid - good morning

You look like an angel

I dont remember when we fell asleep

We should get up, kid

Cathy is waiting...

Look at us, lying here

Dreaming, pretending

I made a promise and I took a vow

I wrote a story

And we changed the ending

Cathy, just look at me now!

Hold on, facts are facts

Just relax, lay low

All right, the panic recedes:

Nobody needs to know

Put on my armor

Im off to Ohio

Back into battle till

I dont know when

Swearing to her that I was

Never with you

And praying Ill hold you again

Hold on, clip these wings -

Things get out of hand

All right, its over, its done

No one will understand

No one will understand...

We build a treehouse

I keep it from shaking

Little more glue every time that it breaks

Perfectly balanced

And then I start making

Conscious, deliberate mistakes

All that I ask for

Is one little corner

One private room

At the back of my heart

Tell her I found one

She sends out battalions

To claim it and blow it apart

I grip and she grips

And faster were sliding

Sliding and spilling

And what can I do?

Come back to bed, kid

Take me inside you

I promise I wont lie to you

Hold on, dont cry yet

I wont let you go

All right - the panic recedes

All right - everyone bleeds

All right - I get what I need

And nobody needs to know

Nobody needs to know

And since I have to be in love with someone

Since I need to be in love with someone

Maybe I could be in love with someone

Like you...
