No One Has To Know

We came into the room like water rushing through a flume in the night
And the Neighbors were all sleeping 'til we woke them with our fleeting sighs
And the shadows on the walls were dancing circles around us
Reflecting the dust in our eyes
'Cause in the heat of the moment you were all that I needed
But in the morning, that same feeling was depleted
I never wanted anything but the real thing
Somebody to love me like that
I never really ever knew what I wanted
But I think I'll know when I want it back
When no one has to know
No one has to know
The things we did
When you were mine
And I was yours
And we were ours, together
Well, I snuck out the door
And held hands with my shame for too long
And tried to scrub off the sadness
'Cause I thought it would never be gone
'Cause the people in the church would tell us we were both sinners
And try to save us with their Jesus songs
And we'd roll our eyes and try not to resent them
'Cause we'd already been to heaven
I never wanted anything but the real thing
Somebody to love me like that
I never really ever knew what I wanted
But I think I'll know when I want it back
When no one has to know
No one has to know
The things we did
When you were mine
And I was yours
And we were ours together
'Cause I'm usually no good at keeping secrets
And I've been known to swim in the deep end
You could be my silver lining
And I'll let you love me
If we turn out the lights

Unstable

Nothing's working out the way I planned it
The future is a tease I can't get back at
I'm terrified of all the things I can't predict
And what scares me the most is that I'm getting used to it
Nightmares follow me down the hall
like that boy in school who used to taunt me
And in my head I'm always searching
Now I'm thirteen again
Who will know how to love me
When I can feel myself going crazy
Who will keep me steady
When not a bone in my body can hold me up
And I can't help but wondering
Who could love someone who's unstable
Keep me steadfast love
Tip toe on the high-wire
My legs are shaking and I'm overtired
I'm obsessed with all the things I can't control
And what I want the most is what I can't be told
Nostalgia is always biting and
Never puts me back where it finds me
Who am I to complain
We're all running in circles
(pre chorus, chorus)
Yesterday I fell apart in the middle of my own song,
In the middle of my own show
and who's to know where to go
'Cause I thought when I was older I would understand
but age is just a number and I'm more confused than ever
But I will know how to love you
When you feel yourself going crazy
And I will keep you steady
When not a bone in your body could hold you up
And you can't help but wondering
Who could love someone who's unstable, unstable..
Be my steadfast love,
Keep me steadfast love...

Ever since I saw your face
Everybody wears a halo
Something's swelling in my chest
I think I'll be okay though
Ever since I felt your breath
Sneak softly through my ear
Everybody sounds like heaven
Cause your voice is all I hear
I'm not a fortune teller
I'll never know my place
But I believe in angels
Ever since I saw your face
Ever since I heard you singing
Everybody's sprouting wings
And I only feel like flying
Cause I don't know how to sink anymore, no
I'm not a fortune teller
I'll never know my place
But I believe in angels
Ever since I saw your face
You're all the good I see, You're all the good I see in this world

I'm Not Yours

Tipsy lover
Vagabond
Stays the night but then she's gone
You can try to change her
Keep her at her will
But she's no good at standing still
And you can kiss her at her feet
But why even bother
Before you have the chance to speak
She'll scream and holler
I'm not yours, I'm not yours, I'm not yours, I'm not yours, I'm not yours
Wild woman
No she won't behave
Won't be kept up in a cage
You didn't mean to hurt her
You just held on too tight
She couldn't wait to get out of your sight
And you can give that diamond ring
But she don't want your money
Before you get down on one knee
She'll be out the door and running
(chorus)
It's not your fault but maybe it is
She's just a runner and you can't resister her
She's not your lover and you can't keep up with her

Oh, what I would do to hold my hands over your wounds
I don't care if it's not pretty
Stay with me
Not all of life is the cold bathroom floor
Or the aftermath of your parents divorce
Not all of it is pretty, but stay with me
Let your body move to the sounds around you
And let the blood rush through your veins
I'm a sad girl, too and I'll hold onto you
When you need to feel something
Little babe, little someone's daughter
I know it's hard to feel safe in open waters
Not everything will drown you out
Not all of life is the razor thin
Repercussions of a kitchen knife on your skin
Not all of it will drown you out
Let your body move to the sounds around you
And let the blood rush through your veins
I'm a sad girl, too and I'll hold onto you
When you need to feel something
Babe whenever you want, you can talk to me
Anytime of the day or night, you can talk to me
You're never too much for my arms
Never too heavy on my heart
Talk to me or don't say anything
Let your body move to the sounds around you
And let the blood rush through your veins
I'm a sad girl, too and I'll hold onto you
When you need to feel something
