"my secret" lyrics

You're all grown up but you're still wasting time
With your burnout friends on a football field late at night
But I talk a lot of shit for a girl
Who still drives through the dark like a teen with all the answers

The whole world is inside of their secret dreams
Currents filling them with power in their silent sleep
But pillars of rock wide awake along the road
Follow me with ancient eyes and know everywhere I go

I'm headed where the opals form
Somewhere I don't need my words
Show me where your gnawing hides
I will show you mine

'Cause there's something wrong with me deep down inside
I'm a deer on a golf course with something in my
Heart that clatters about when I'm left all alone
I have a secret that nobody knows
The change in your face when the camera turns round
A flickering iris that you can't pin down
Oh, the sounds of the house when there's nobody home
I have a secret that nobody knows

And I was fearless for a year or three
I wore old fur coats from dead red-lipstick ladies
I tried to take my liquor straight but couldn't stand the taste
And someone else was always winning the indifference race

But I remember feeling small and misunderstood
When somehow all the music still sounded so good
You would tell me now, "Friend, I think you're just getting old"
And sit with me for hours just to say I'm alone

I'm headed where the opals form
Somewhere I don't need my words
Show me where your gnawing hides
I will show you mine

'Cause there's something wrong with me deep down inside
I'm a deer on a golf course with something in my
Heart that clatters about when I'm left all alone
I have a secret that nobody knows

The change in your face when the camera turns round
A flickering iris that you can't pin down
Oh, the sounds of the house when there's nobody home
I have a secret that nobody knows

Then get in the sheets when the party's all done
Your pulse keeping time after his love is gone
And the canyon between us where nobody goes
I have a secret that nobody knows
I have a secret that nobody knows
I have a secret that nobody knows
