Nobody Needs to Know

Hey kid, good morning

You look like an angel

I don't remember when we fell asleep

We should get up kid

Cathy is waiting

Look at us, lying here

Dreaming, pretending

I made a promise and I took a vow

I wrote a story

And we change the ending

Cathy, just look at me now

Hold on, facts are facts

Just relax, lay low

All right, the panic recedes

Nobody needs to know

Put on my armor, I'm off to Ohio

Back into battle till I don't know when

Swearing to her that I never was with you

And praying I'll hold you again

Hold on, clip these wings

Things get out of hand

Alright, it's over, it's done

No one will understand

No one will understand

We build a treehouse

I keep it from shaking

Little more glue every time that it breaks

Perfectly balanced

And then I start making

A conscious, deliberate mistake

All that I ask for

Is one little corner

One private room at the back of my heart

Tell her I found one

She sends out battalions

To claim it and blow it apart

I grip, and she grips

And faster we're sliding

Sliding and spilling and what can I do?

Come back to bed, kid

Take me inside you

I promise I won't lie to you

Hold on, don't cry yet

I won't let you go

All right, the panic recedes

Alright, everyone bleeds

Alright, I get what I need

And nobody needs to know

Nobody needs to know

And since I have to be in love with someone

Since I need be in love with someone

Maybe I could be in love with someone like you
