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
