Secret

Music: Grace McDunnough
Lyrics: Salome Strangelove

I don’t always say things right
But I’ll call every day, day, day — to find a way
And I can’t always read the room
But I’ll shuffle through, through, through — to get to you
I know it feels like we just hit and miss
Forever caught between the heavens and abyss
But please don’t worry, love, ’bout the keeping track
My heart is always here to pull yours back

I don’t always trust my head
But I trust in you, you, you — oh, yes, I do
And I don’t always make much sense
But I always try, try, try — to meet your mind
I know it fills the others with chagrin
They’re looking from the outside in
Just buzzing in their bitter swarms
‘Cause they don’t get to hold your warmth

And it’s a secret where I lay my hands
A secret they don’t understand
Unspoken words that tether-bind us
To the stars that always finds us
More than phases of the moon; more than just skin-deep
You are the sweetest secret I will ever keep

I don’t always find the rhythm
But I’ll fight the beat, beat, beat — to feel your heat
And I don’t always know what I want
But I can tell you this, this, this, I need your bliss
I miss your voice, I miss your sounds
Let me drift in you, baby, let me drown
Forget the audience, forget their eyes
When I’m with you there is no disguise

‘Cause it’s a secret where I lay my hands
A secret they don’t understand
Unspoken words that tether-bind us
To the stars that always finds us
More than phases of the moon; more than just skin-deep
You are the sweetest secret I will ever keep

And even when we laugh out loud
Standing right inside the crowd
There’s a whisper hidden just below
A tender promise that will not let go

‘Cause it’s a secret where I lay my hands
A secret they don’t understand
Unspoken words that tether-bind us
To the stars that always finds us
More than phases of the moon; more than just skin-deep
You are the sweetest secret I will ever keep
