CLOSE UP ON THE QUIET ONES LYRICS

"If You Play That Card, I Swear"

Featuring Dee Marie

I fought this recession of words,
but you'll never believe what you heard.
Find yourself in the fields where we once called home.
This place has crashed and burned.
I fell into your arms,
you never had to stay.
I've got a fever and I'm cold,
but I've words to say.
Wrap your blanket of kind intervention
around me and pray.
You won't be gone by the end of the day.

So bite your lips and hide your eyes.
Run from this conversation.
Yeah, we're doing this all wrong.
We're doing this all wrong.

I awoke to the sound of you hurt.
I came running just to find it's not me who's for her.
I'd love to tell you anything,
I'd buy you the sky,
but behind your eyes, you swear it's not right.

Don't cry, don't cry tonight.
I never meant to hurt you, I've messed up this time.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry for letting you down.
I'm just scared if we jump, we might drown.

So bite your lips and hide your eyes.
Run from this conversation.
Yeah, we're doing this all wrong.
We're doing this all wrong.

Pencil me in,
pencil me in.
I'm just the lullaby to your nightmare.
