Secret

(Verse 1)
You leave your car three blocks away
Slip through the back so the neighbors don't say
A thing to the girl who thinks that you're home
While you're in my kitchen, silencing your phone
It’s the same old smile, the same old touch
We both know we shouldn't want this much
You’re holding her hand in the light of the day
But you’re holding your breath when you look my way
**(Chorus)**
And it’s a secret, secret, burning up the room
A beautiful mess that we stepped back into
You go home to her, but you leave your ghost with me
Yeah, she gets the title, but I get the history
How long can we play in the dark?
Before a secret burns down the whole park?
**(Verse 2)**
I see her pictures on your timeline feed
She looks so happy, it’s a sight to see
Does she know the way you laugh when you’re tired?
Or is she just playing with a different fire?
You say it's complicated, say you're gonna leave
But you've been spinning this web since last November, thief
Stealing moments from her just to give 'em to the past
We're a beautiful mistake that isn't built to last
**(Chorus)**
But it’s a secret, secret, burning up the room
A beautiful mess that we stepped back into
You go home to her, but you leave your ghost with me
Yeah, she gets the title, but I get the history
How long can we play in the dark?
Before a secret burns down the whole park?
**(Bridge)**
My friends all tell me that I'm playing the fool
Re-writing a book that we already through
But when the lights go down and it's just us two
I forget about her... do you forget too?
*Do you forget too?*
(Phone vibrates on the nightstand)
*Time's up.*
**(Guitar Solo - Moody, echoing)**
**(Chorus)**
Yeah, it’s a secret, secret, burning up the room
A beautiful mess that we stepped back into
You go home to her, but you leave your ghost with me
She gets the title... but I get the history
How long can we play in the dark?
Before this secret... breaks my heart?
**(Outro)**
Three blocks away.
Slip out the back.
Don't leave a trace.
Just another secret we can't erase.
(Ooh-ooh, yeah)
(Fade out on a busy signal)
