Nobody Needs To Know Songtext / Lyric

JAMIE

Hey, kid – good morning –

You look like an angel.

I don't remember when we fell asleep.

We should get up, kid –

Cathy is waiting…



Look at us, lying here,

Dreaming, pretending.

I made a promise and I took a vow.

I wrote a story,

And we changed the ending –

Cathy, just look at me now!



Hold on, facts are facts –

Just relax, lay low.

All right, the panic recedes:

Nobody needs to know.






Put on my armor –

I'm off to Ohio.

Back into battle till I don't know when.

Swearing to her that I

Never was with you,

And praying I'll hold you again.



Hold on, clip these wings –

Things get out of hand.

All right, it's over, it's done –

No one will understand.

No one will understand…



We build a treehouse,

I keep it from shaking –

Little more glue ev'ry time that it breaks.

Perfectly balanced,

And then I start making

Conscious, deliberate mistakes.



All that I ask for

Is one little corner –

One private room at the back of my heart.

Tell her I found one,

She sends out battalions

To claim it and blow it apart.



I grip and she grips,

And faster we're sliding.

Sliding and spilling, and what can I do?

Come back to bed, kid –

Take me inside you –

I promise I won't lie to you.



Hold on, don't cry yet –

I won't let you go.

All right – the panic recedes;

All right – everyone bleeds;

All right – I get what I need,

And nobody needs

To know.

Nobody needs to know…



And since I have to be in love with someone,

Since I need to be in love with someone,

Maybe I could be in love with someone

Like you…
