I was born on the fourth of July
Fireworks screaming in cerulean skies
Claimed by the cannon blast
Seemed like my heart always beat too fast
Well, sister I have seen my share
Ain't nothing you could say could keep the kink from my stare
If I start coming up short
I twist my voice until I reach the note
And we'll keep the medicine close
Now and then double up the dose
Well, maybe reckless hearts come in pairs
Maybe that's the only shake we'll ever get to call fair
I will never speak your name
I will never speak your name if it's not out of love again
I will never speak your name
I will never speak your name if it's not out of love again
Baby, I want to be kind
But I've been out here running ragged staggering blind
And every time I get close, I hold my breath until the seams all show
But you calm my paranoid heart
For once in my life I'll let down my guard
I will never speak your name
I will never speak your name if it's not out of love again
I will never speak your name
I will never speak your name if it's not out of love again
I will never speak your name
I will never speak your name if it's not out of love again
I will never speak your name
I will never speak your name if it's not out of love again
