Come On
Whispers of Discontent: White Lies' Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
I'm sick of all the noise
I'm fed up with the surrounding noise
From the storm in here
The turmoil within me
I need a little quiet to get things clear
I need some peace and quiet to gain clarity
But tell me somethin' true, or a lie I know
Seeking honesty, whether it's a truth or a known lie
And show me that you're there
Show me that you're present and that I'm not alone
And I'm not alone now
So if the right words feel like
If expressing the correct sentiments feels inappropriate
The wrong kind to say
I'll stay silent, hoping things will turn out fine
I'll keep my mouth shut, darlin'
Hope things all work out okay
-But there's somethin' wrong
Perceiving that something is amiss
Come on, come on, you know
Encouraging participation despite awareness of the issue
We just play along
Come on, come on, you know
-My worries overact when my heart is spent
My worries become exaggerated when my emotions are drained
Though you know they overact
Though they arise with good intentions
With the best intent
So, tomorrow is a day like this gone by
Viewing tomorrow as a repetition of today
I'll try to keep my hopes from
I'll attempt to temper my expectations
Gettin' up too high now
Preventing them from becoming overly optimistic
So if the right words feel like
If the appropriate words seem inappropriate
The wrong kind to say
I'll refrain from speaking, anticipating positive outcomes
I'll keep my mouth shut, darlin'
Hope things all work out okay
-But there's somethin' wrong
Sensing that something is not right
Come on, come on, you know
We just play along
-Come on, come on, you know
-Love is just a word that ties
Love is a mere word bridging the gap between us
The gap between you and I
Because there's an awareness of an underlying issue
'Cause you know there's somethin' wrong
You've been aware of it for a while
You've known it for a while, come on
Love is just a word that ties
-The gap between you and I
-'Cause you know there's somethin' wrong
-You've known it for a while, come on
-Love is just a word that ties
-The gap between you and I
-'Cause you know there's somethin' wrong
-You've known it for a while, come on
-Love is just a word that ties
-The gap between you and I
-'Cause you know there's somethin' wrong
-You've known it for a while, come on
-But there's somethin' wrong
-Come on, come on, you know
-We just play along
-Come on, come on, you know
-But there's somethin' wrong
-Come on, come on, you know
-We just play along
-Come on, come on, you know
