Lyrics
Everybody needs some time away
Expressing the universal need for some time alone or apart from others.
The words are lost when words don't try to say
Communication can fail when words are not used to express thoughts or feelings.
I got a secret no one else could keep
Revealing a personal secret that is kept exclusively.
I'm never sure or trust it's just for me
Expressing uncertainty and lack of trust, questioning if something is exclusively for the speaker.
And no one needs to know
Reiterating that the secret should remain undisclosed; emphasizing the need for confidentiality.
No one needs to know
-No one needs to know
-Will you stay up all night
Asking if the listener will stay awake all night for the speaker, who is the sole reason for staying up.
When I'm the only reason why, reason why
-You say you want to know me now
-But you never tried, never tried
-And then out here we hear a little
-Hear a little cry
-You say you'll never speak about it
-I'll take it till I die
-Every time I walk these floors alone
Describing the loneliness felt while walking alone, carrying a heavy emotional burden that is not confessed.
Now you can find me through these walls of stone
-I hold a heavy treasure in my chest
-Until I let it go I won't confess
-And no one needs to know
Emphasizing the secrecy of the burden, reinforcing the idea that no one needs to know about it.
No one needs to know
-No one needs to know
-Will you stay up all night
Continuing the theme of the listener staying up for the speaker, highlighting the lack of effort in getting to know the speaker.
When I'm the only reason why, reason why
-You say you want to know me now
-But you never tried, never tried
-And then out here we hear a little
-Hear a little cry
-You say you'll never speak about it
-I'll take it till I die
-You never try to see me
Expressing frustration that the listener never tries to understand the speaker, possibly referencing unfulfilled desires.
You never ever, too hard
-I didn't kiss one more last boy
-I waited for us to guide
-And no one needs to know
Reiterating the importance of keeping the secret, underscoring that no one needs to know.
No one needs to know
-No one needs to know!
-Will you stay up all night
Asking if the listener will stay up all night, reiterating the lack of effort in trying to know the speaker, and emphasizing the silence about a certain matter until death.
When I'm the only reason why, reason why
-You say you want to know me now
-But you never tried, never tried
-And then out here we hear a little
-Hear a little cry
-You say you'll never speak about it
-I'll take it till I die
