Текст пісні
I've got something to tell you
But I don't really want to
'cause it's gonna change everything
Don't mean to sound like an alarmist
To go all sober and charmless
But some things charm won't get me through
Just have to make do
If I wanted, I could blow this whole thing up
Light the hidden fuse
But some things are too precious to lose
Require careful moves
So I'm just gonna chew it up and swallow it
Swallow it down, that's the ticket
Really stringy and fibrous, stuck in my teeth
Tough as overdone meat
I'm just gonna fold it up and pocket it
Bury my frown—no, it's nothing
Give it a spin in the washer and forget what it ever was
Soaked into mush
I've got something to tell you
But I think I'll regret it
Just the liquid courage on my breath
Put a puff in my chest
In my head, got the best-case scenario
Hamster-wheeling me toward that perilous edge
The longer I spend with you, the closer I get
To taking the bet
The loveliest thing, your bright eyes on me
Don't want to summon a shadow
To steal their light
So I'm just gonna pinch my lips and hold it in
Don't wanna let anything slip
Even as I purple, even as I blue
Gotta do what you gotta do
Leave it alone, It's just some stupid shit
Nothing to concern yourself with
If I say it enough, someday I'll believe it too
(I'm gonna chew it up and swallow it)
I don't know what's coming but I know that it's not
(Just gonna fold it up and pocket it)
A door I'm gonna open—gonna keep my trap shut
(Just gonna pinch my lips and hold it in)
I don't know what's coming but I know that it's not
(Leave it alone, it's just some stupid shit)
A door I'm gonna open—gonna keep my trap shut
Not sun-certain but I'm pretty confident
How it'd go down: not too pretty
Can't let this feeling slip off my tongue
So I'll give it a chew; nothing new
