Don't Tell
Your New Secret Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've been waiting
For something to believe in
Something we can get into
We've been waiting far too long
To get around this wall
That we've been leaving scratches on
In the middle of a West-coast daydream
Living like we couldn't tell a soul.
So fall through
Just like everyone else and we'll keep
We'll keep this all to ourselves
And we'll sing like no one's there
We'll sing like no one cares
So just step back
As our secret gets out and we'll keep
We'll keep singing all to ourselves
And we'll sing like no one's there
We'll sing like no one cares
But we'll be rich in friends that know our secret.
We've been saying
We've been waiting
For something to get even
Something we can break into
We've been waiting far too long
To get across this bridge
That we've been leaving footprints on
We've been in the middle of this mess
In the middle of this West-coast daydream
Living like we couldn't tell a soul.
So fall through
Just like everyone else and we'll keep
We'll keep this all to ourselves
And we'll sing like no one's there
We'll sing like no one cares
So just step back
As our secret gets out and we'll keep
We'll keep singing all to ourselves
And we'll sing like no one's there
We'll sing like no one cares
But we'll be rich in friends that know our secret.
Oh, oh, oh!
We've been living in the middle of this mess
In the middle of this West-coast daydream
Living like we couldn't
TELL A SOUL!
We've been living in the middle of this mess
In the middle of this West-coast daydream
Living like we couldn't
TELL A SOUL!
Oh, oh, oh...
So fall through
Just like everyone else and we'll keep
We'll keep this all to ourselves
And we'll sing like no one's there
We'll sing like no one cares
So just step back
As our secret gets out and we'll keep
We'll keep singing all to ourselves
And we'll sing like no one's there
We'll sing like no one cares
But we'll be rich in friends that know our secret
We'll be rich in friends that know our secret
We'll be rich in friends that know our SECRET!

As someone who grew up with an Irish mother and grandmother, I 100% believe the story about her mother. Drinking my pint right now to try to avoid the trauma from it

Same. A kind, patient dad... but a mother who would kick walls in and scream like a báinsí rattling through your soul.
