Lyrics

Hushed Tones

When you wasted
All those colors
On that painting
Representation of
My own
Hushed tones

When you went under
Beneath the water
Can feel the sun burn
But still got hotter
My own
Hushed tones

You know I will
I always do
Give you my love
It's all for you

When you hear thunder
You come running
Ain't it something
You come running back to me
And my own
Hushed, hushed tones

You know I will
I always do
Give you my love
It's all for you
My own
Hushed, hushed tones

Hushed tones
Hushed tones
Hushed tones
Hushed tones

You come running
Ain't that something
You come running
Into my own
Hushed, hushed tones
