The Secret's In The Telling

the signal, it's subtle-- we pass just close enough to touch.

no questions, no answers, we know by now to say enough

with simple words, with only subtle terms,

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 papers, or letters-- we pass just close enough to touch.

we love in secret names, we hide in 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 resilient hope is frozen deep inside my bones,

and this broken fate has cleaned 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, while the words escape my lungs.

and i'll whisper only once...

there is a secret that we keep,

i won't sleep if you 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,

you will keep each other warm,

but tonight i am feeling cold.

>>perfect for you and me.
