Lyrics
The Less You Say
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You ever catch yourself just thinking of a way to get out?
It’s like a reflex motion.
The words slip in and leave a taste
That you let linger for days, inside your heart.
We fell asleep, just like before, there under trees
I can’t do this anymore
Make this all something that’s behind us
For me, for you, this is not the end but I’m scared
Color your words in a soft subtle sequence
But you force this on us like we shouldn’t care
The fields that they will find us in are marked and now
The end, the end, the end is here
We fell asleep, just like before,
You said I can’t do this anymore
You better run, you best not stay
They catch you here this all goes away
This all goes away
Just give me a chance to change your mind
Speak with the others you will see
The place that you now hope to find
Your peace will cut pieces right out from me
You could make this all go away
Years swept by us like seas
And we slept by ourselves to see
We hid hope in our sleeves
And all the world knew we believed
This life took me by the hand
God knows where you’ll find yourself in the end
You better run, you best not stay
They catch you here this all goes away
This all goes away
The less you say the more I’m can’t shake
The reason you would leave is the reason you could stay
