CLOSE UP ON THE QUIET ONES LYRICS

"I Sure Hope You Know How To Swim"

Featuring Paul Kelley

I'll tell you straight, I'm a liar and a thief.
And I'll take everything from you while you sleep.
But you can rest your pretty little head in peace
as you sit on your bed and scream.

This is your surprise, tonight we celebrate,
'cause tomorrow we die and mourn the morning like the day never breaks.
And we wear black to our funerals and it’s that smell
of spilled blood lingering in the air.
You promised me this time you would play fair.

And the feeling that you’re not all here.
Leaves me, leaves me, leaves me breathless.
Take my hand, but I can't promise I won't leave you hanging, again.
You haven't figured out I'm just here to leave you wondering how?
Cause I never thought that it would end this way,
now I'll spend my days dancing in the rain.

Cause i’ve been breathing a little too hard and my heart beats a little faster
so i’ll talk a little lower and I'll hold my head up high
we don’t eat, we can’t sleep
and my fingers find the bruises in the hollows of my bones.

This is your surprise, tonight we celebrate,
'cause tomorrow we die and mourn the morning like the day never breaks.
And we wear black to our funerals and it’s that smell
of spilled blood lingering in the air.
You promised me this time you would play fair.

So when the lights go out, kiss me hard
and I'll pretend you're worth the fight.
When you get up to go, I'll say I'll miss you so
yet you'll never know I lied every time I said goodnight.

And when morning comes, it will wash us away.
Just promise you'll let go and we'll be like the ocean waves.
