I was gonna spell it out In detail but I dropped the call Before I spilled my guts The floor stayed clean Like my conscience would be 'cause if you heard anything You didn't hear it from me I'm sweeping up the seconds That tick off the clock Save them all 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 And sometimes I say things that I wish that I could take back The most crucial thing in life is The thing called tact And if your hour's 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 bit my tongue I said I'm always close-minded With an open mouth And the worst of me Seems to come right out But I've never broken bones With a stone or a stick But I've conjured up a phrase That can cut to the quick And sometimes I say things that I wish that I could take back And 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 Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet Listen to your voice Because the power of your words Can repair all that I destroyed And when I finally do Let it come from you The peace of understanding grips my soul The reason I Have meaning in this life Is so I swallow all my pride And give you control I give it all to you And 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 I gotta keep quiet quiet Listen to your voice Because the power of your words Can repair all that I destroyed And 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 Bite my tongue
