Your Secrets
Unlocking Secrets: Embracing Intimacy in Belle and Sebastian's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
To step out of your cradle is like coming down
To mature or grow beyond your comfort zone feels like a descent.
I just had somebody tell me I was introspective to a fault
Someone recently criticized me for being too self-analytical.
I'll be a dozer if I can
I'd prefer to be a daydreamer if possible.
But I will contented be right now if we could keep our secret
I would currently be happy if we could maintain our confidentiality.
You could tell me all your secrets
You're welcome to share all your undisclosed information with me.
All you ever do is run and hide
You consistently avoid confronting things directly.
You can keep it inside
You're capable of internalizing your thoughts and feelings.
If you tell me all your secrets
If you confide in me completely, I'll keep your secrets.
All I have to do is let it ride
I can manage to handle it if you choose not to disclose.
I can keep it inside
I'll keep your secrets confidential if you prefer.
But if it's as it seems, and I keep having dreams
If my assumptions are correct and my dreams persist...
About the two of us, then it's obvious
...about us, then the truth is apparent.
You should stop treating me like I was just a child
Stop treating me as though I'm immature.
You should start treating me like I was just the same as you
Treat me as your equal rather than inferior.
To step out of your cradle is like coming down
Leaving the comfort of familiarity feels like descending.
I just had somebody tell me I was introspective to a fault
Someone recently criticized me for overthinking.
I'll be a dozer if I can
I'd prefer to daydream if possible.
But I will contented be right now if we could keep our secret
I'd be content now if we could maintain our secrecy.
We could be a little closer
We could become more intimate.
The mystery you're trying to preserve
The enigmatic aspects you want to keep hidden...
You don't need in reserve
...you don't need to reserve.
We should be a little closer
We should grow closer emotionally.
Intimacy has the greater charm
Being closer emotionally is more appealing.
And it would do no harm
It won't cause harm to become closer emotionally.
To give a little way, oh, please stop holding away
Stop withholding emotions and open up a bit, please.
You could even read me your poetry
You could even share your poetry with me.
If you would stop treating me like I was just a child
Stop treating me like a child.
You should start realising that I'm just as wild as you
Recognize that I'm just as unrestrained as you.
Stop treating me like I was just a child
Stop perceiving me solely as immature.
