Cannot Take A Secret

You told me I was guarded

Late on a Tuesday night

And now it's only Thursday

And others said the same

My eyes aren't broken vases

They do see a steady pulse and flag

I thought that was a good thing

You told me it was bad

But I can't find you with my arms in front of me

Tell me, can you ever win time back

If you're willing to lose some fun between the cracks?

A sacrifice that I would make for those days, I can't relax

Cause you cannot take a secret back

Mmm

I love people-watching

On this wild, wide brick street

The lamps give just enough

That we just might meet

It's a big, small world

With lots of stages and holes to fill

Before that day I said too much

I can't sit still

I can't find you with my arms in front of me

But if home is my mystery

Well, I have to stay and guard this street

Tell me, can you ever win time back

If you're willing to lose some fun between the cracks?

A sacrifice that I would make for those days, I can't relax

Cause you cannot take a secret back

Oh

I can't find you with my arms in front of me

But if home is my identity

Well, then I have to stay right here, right here and guard this street

Tell me, can you ever win time back

If you're willing to lose some fun between the cracks?

A sacrifice that I would make for those days, I can't relax

Cause you cannot take a secret back

Oh

You cannot take a secret back

Mmm
