VERSE ONE:
i'm looking for a way to escape,
is the only one through your door?
will i have to steal the keys,
or will you hand them over to me... willingly?
i called you once, i heard you whispering
speak up for once, instead of just listening
if it's not for help, why are you here at all...
in front of me? leave me be
CHORUS:
"save your words," my ears perk up,
your lips move, your voice mute
somehow i still heard everything
that your heart had, stored up
that your soul said, unheard
the spotlight's on you
say all you want, or say nothing at all
VERSE TWO:
hustle bustle, nothing's unquiet
get accustomed, be compliant
that's how we roll,
in this world of "more, more, more!"
with no dice, with no score
just a bell to ring, for the future kings
'cause why carry the burden when you can burden it on others?
why bluff being certain, in poker when you're certain you'll win?
(CHORUS)
POST-CHORUS:
it's okay, i understand
language of the heart
you're saying my name
i know we can't break
this barrier between us
so let's go behind our backs
just for today
BRIDGE:
you say it's a loud world out there
that i wouldn't last a day with my timidness
you say my blanket's warm but don't wear it yourself
you've never seen someone so wild, such as myself
these blank formalities, let's toss them all aside
and take a step forward, the left and then the right
and if the only thing in it for me, is to guide you through it all
i'd do it willingly, before you trip and fall
(CHORUS)
OUTRO:
it's okay, we can speak
the language of the heart
you and me
