I was going to spell it out in full detail but I dropped the call before I spilled my guts But your floor stayed clean like my conscience will be 'Cause if you heard anything, you didn't hear it from me And I'm sweeping up the seconds that tick off the clock And saving them for later when I'm too ticked to talk And I need some time to search my mind To locate the words that seem so hard to find Sometimes I say things that I wish that I could take back The most crucial thing I lack is a thing called tact And if you're always so intently listening Then the smartest thing to say is to tell myself not to say a thing Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone 'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue To bite my tongue It seems I'm always close minded with an open mouth And the worst of me just seems to come right out But I've never broken bones with a stone or a stick But I'll conjure up a phrase that can cut to the quick And sometimes I say things that I wish that I could take back The smartest thing to say is to tell myself To keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone 'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue I gotta keep quiet, quiet and listen to your voice Because the power of your words can repair all that I've destroyed And when I finally do, let it come from you The peace of understanding grips my soul You're the reason I've found meaning in this life So I'll swallow up my pride and give you control, I give it to you But I gotta keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone 'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet and listen to your voice Because the power of your words can repair all that I've destroyed Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone 'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue To bite my tongue
