DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL lyrics : "The Secret's In The Telling"

The signal is subtle
We pass just close enough to touch
No questions, no answers

We know by now to say enough
With only simple words
With only subtle turns

The things we feel alone for one another

There is a secret that we keep

I won't sleep if you won't sleep
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
We are compelled to do what we must do

We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight


Our act of defiance
We keep this secret in our blood

No paper or letters
We pass just close enough to touch
We love in secret names

We hide within our veins
The things that keep us bound to one another


There is a secret that we keep
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given

We are compelled to do what we must do
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden


Until the last trace and this hope
Is frozen deep inside my bones
And this broken fate has claimed me

And my memories for its own
Your name is pounding through my veins
Can't you hear how it is sung?

And I can taste you in my mouth
Before the words escape my lungs
And I'll whisper only once...


There is a secret that we keep
I won't sleep if you won't sleep

Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
We are compelled to do what we have to
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden


'Cause you will be somebody's girl
And you will keep each other warm

But tonight I am feeling cold
