Things We Shouldn't Talk About

Verse

Let's talk about all the things that we shouldn't talk about

Those kind of words that will change all the things we talk about

I’m tracing circles in the space between our folded hands

Searching for a sign that only one of us understands

Tell me, do you ever think of us when the room goes dark?

Is there a flicker in your chest or just a dying spark?

Should I ask some more or should I stop right where we stand?

Before I reach for something that was never really planned.

Verse

We’ve spent a lifetime building walls out of small talk and glass

Watching the seasons change and letting every moment pass

I’ve got a thousand "what-ifs" heavy underneath my tongue

Songs about a future that we haven't even sung

If I let the secret out, would it break the air we breathe?

Or would it be the very reason that you’d never leave?

I’m tired of the safety in the things we choose to hide

I’d rather risk the fall than keep this hurricane inside.

Pre-chorus

What if our tomorrow means that we are here together?

Or what if we are taking chances just to lose it all?

Am I really crazy thinking 'bout this all together?

Or have I been missing the writing on the wall?

Is it a bridge we’re building, or a ledge where we might slip?

The truth is at the very edge, the biting of my lip.
