I have some stories I
Would like to tell but I
Have sworn myself to secrecy
I have some deep regrets
Some things you don't forget
They haunt you for eternity
Things I could not control
I was too young to know
I needed to protect myself
Some people mean you harm
They'll see how hurt you are
And use you to enjoy themselves
I don't fear that now
I found my own way out
And I will use those lessons well
Some specificities
Some changed idеntities
And all the truth that I can tell
And all thе truth that I can tell
I pace the dressing room
I feel myself consumed
By joy and fear for what's to come
My friends are playing now
Oh man, how good they sound
And my nerves burn until I'm numb
They play their biggest tune
Back here I sing it too
And when they're done
I strum some chords
I tune up my guitar
Grab something from the bar
Then pace around a little more
I sing a little bit
I save the rest of it
For what's to come when I walk out
I'm nervous, I'll admit
That's just a part of it
And honestly, I like that now
I take the stage and I
Collapse in fractured rhyme
Surrounded by a crowd of friends
They sing along with me
We trade the melody
And I hope that will never end
And then I go backstage
And my friends pair away
In cabs and cars and bikes and trains
And I find solitude
And I call home to you
And you call me your secret name
And I say, "What a show
You shoulda seen em though
I wish I could take them with me"
And you just kinda laugh
Say, I already have
"They're in you now. They'll always be
They're in you now. They'll always be"
I have some stories I
Would like to tell but I
Have sworn myself to secrecy
