my secret

You're all grown up, but you're still wasting time

With your burnout friends on a football field late at night

But I talk a lot of shit for a girl

Who still drives through the dark like a teen with all the answers

The whole world is inside of their secret dreams

Currents filling them with power in their silent sleep

But pillars of rock, wide awake along the road

Follow me with ancient eyes and know everywhere I go

I'm headed where the opals form

Somewhere I don't need my words

Show me where your gnawing hides

I will show you mine

'Cause there's something wrong with me deep down inside

I'm a deer on a golf course with something in my heart

That clatters about when I'm left all alone

I have a secret that nobody knows

The change in your face when the camera turns 'round

A flickering iris was that you can't bring down

Or the sounds of the house when there's nobody home

I have a secret that nobody knows

I was fearless for a year or three

I wore old fur coats from dead red-lipstick ladies

I tried to take my liquor straight but couldn't stand the taste

And someone else was always winning the indifference race

But I remember feeling small and misunderstood when

Somehow the music still sounded so good

You would tell me "You're fine, I think you're just getting old"

And sit with me for hours just to say I'm alone

I'm headed where the opals form

Somewhere I don't need my words

Show me where your gnawing hides

I will show you mine

'Cause there's something wrong with me deep down inside

I'm a deer on a golf course with something in my heart

That clatters about when I'm left all alone

I have a secret that nobody knows

The change in your face when the camera turns 'round

A flickering iris was that you can't bring down

All the sounds of the house when there's nobody home

I have a secret that nobody knows

In bed, in the sheets when the party's all done

Your pulse keeping time after his love is gone

And the canyon between us where nobody goes

I have a secret that nobody knows

I have a secret that nobody knows

I have a secret that nobody knows
