Relient K – Bite My Tongue Lyrics  Share

From Relient K's album: Five Score And Seven Years Ago

I was going to spell it out in full detail
But I dropped the call before I spilled my guts
But your floor stayed clean, like my conscience will be
Cause if you heard anything, you didn^,t hear it from me

And I^,m sweeping up the seconds that tick off the clock
And saving them for later when I^,m too ticked to talk
And I need some time to search my mind
To locate the words that seem so hard to find

Sometimes I say things that
I wish I could take back
The most crucial thing I lack
Is a thing called tact
But if you^,re always so intently listening
Then the smartest thing to say is to tell myself not to say a thing

Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet
Don^,t let it all come undone
Cause if I dare open my mouth
It^,ll just be to bite my tongue
To bite my tongue

It seems I^,m always close minded with an open mouth
And the worst of me seems to come right out
But I^,ve never broken bones with a stone or a stick
But I^,ll conjure up a phrase that can cut to the quick

Sometimes I say things that
I wish I could take back
Then the smartest thing to say is to tell myself

To keep quiet, quiet

Don^,t let it all come undone
Cause if I dare open my mouth
It^,ll just be to bite my tongue
I gotta keep quiet, quiet
And listen to your voice
Because the power of your words
Can restore all that I^,ve destroyed

And when I finally do
Let it come from you
The peace of understanding grips my soul
Cause you^,re the reason I^,ve
Found meaning in this life
So I^,ll swallow up my pride and give you control
I give all to you

Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet
Don^,t let it all come undone
Cause if I dare open my mouth
It^,ll just be to bite my tongue
I gotta keep quiet, quiet
And listen to your voice
Because the power of your words
Can restore all that I^,ve destroyed

Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet
Don^,t let it all come undone
Cause if I dare open my mouth
It^,ll just be to bite my tongue
To bite my tongue
