The Quiet Things No One Ever Knows

We saw the western coast

I saw the hospital

Nurse the shoreline like a wound

Reports of lovers tryst

Were neither clear nor discript

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

Today's the day it gets tired

Today's the day we drop down

Give up my body in bed

All for an empty hotel

Wasting words on lowercases and capitals



I contemplate the day we wed

Your friends are boring me to death

Your veil is ruined in the rain

By then you would like to do without

There's nothing new to talk about

And though our kids are blessed, the parents let them shoulder all the blame



So keep the blood in your head

And keep your feet on the ground

Today's the day it gets tired

Today's the day we drop down

Give up my body in bed

All for an empty hotel

Wasting words on lowercases and capitals



(I lie for only you

And I lie well Halleluh)(x2)



So keep the blood in your head

And keep your feet on the ground

Today's the day it gets tired

Today's the day we drop down

Give up my body in bed

All for an empty hotel

Wasting words on lowercases and capitals
