Bite My Tongue歌词

[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
