Now follow me down to it
Just follow me down to do it
Nobody will know how you come, and you go for it
Not gonna get dangerous, you don't got to worry about us
Somebody to give what you get
And you get what you need now

And these lights, get bright so let me show you
It would be so so so nice to know you

It's as easy as,
One, two, three, do you see what I do
Truth or dare, yes I double dare you
You, you, me, now I think you got it
One last breath and just spin the bottle now

You know you don't need to be so worried
Even though below I'm still thinking bout' it

One, two, three, and I double dare me as well
Truth, dare

(Dirty little secret, dirty little secret)
This will be our little
(Dirty little secret, dirty little secret)
This will be our little

Give in to the slow descent
Give in to the trust to feel it
Give in to the pull and the push and the forth and back
Oooooh
We're not going to slow you down, we're not gonna hold you to it
I guess it depends, in the end
After all we're all friends here
Here

And these lights get bright,
So let me show ya
So, so, so nice to know ya

It's as easy as,
One, two, three, do you see what I do
Truth or dare, yes I double dare you
You, you, me, now I think you got it
One last breath and just spin the bottle now

(You know you don't need to be so worried,
Even though below I'm still thinking bout' it)

One, two, three and I double dare me as well
Truth, dare

(Dirty little secret, dirty little secret)
This will be our little
(Dirty little secret, dirty little secret)
This will be our little
(Dirty little secret, dirty little secret)
This will be our little
(Dirty little secret, dirty little secret)
And this will be our little

One, two, three
Do you see what I do
Truth or dare, yes I double dare you
You, you, me, now I think you got it
One last breath, and just spin the bottle now

(You know you don't need to be so worried
Even though below I'm still thinking about it)




One, two, three and I double dare me as well
Truth, dare

@100VideoProject

So glad you discovered Marianas Trench!!

@TrashMutt

You should listen to the whole album someone from your generation could probably appreciate it more than us but theyโ€™re all written to line up and flow into each other

@williamfranklin5152

wouldnt say the lyrics are anything to write about but it is a tune

@TrashMutt

@@williamfranklin5152 write something better then

@karengieseking1437

Agreed - I'm a 56 yr old mom, and my daughter introduced me to them before the pandemic. Their harmonies are just killer, and I haven't found any song that I don't at least like.

I love every album, each one has a whole new theme, I think masterpiece theatre is the best but this is a close second

@patrickstar6247

Agreed. Nothing can top MASTERPIECE THEATER. This is a close 2nd for me with Fix Me just because i really like that album.

@wyattenge8099

Still listening on 2020
