The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

We saw the western coast
I saw the hospitals
And nursed the shoreline like a wound
Reports of lovers trysts were neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow,
the quiet things that no one ever knows

So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today’s the day it gets tired then today’s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today’s the day it gets tired then today’s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

I contemplate the day we wed
Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then it’s you I can do without
There’s nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed,
their parents let them shoulder all the blame

So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today’s the day it gets tired then today’s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today’s the day it gets tired then today’s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

I lie for only you
And I lie well… hallelujah

I lie for only you
And I lie well… hallelujah

So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today’s the day it gets tired then today’s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today’s the day it gets tired then today’s the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
