Making Friends and Acquaintances

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Loose-lipped secrets I've seen those birdies chirping Another promise perched on their fragile branches Cradle and all [Chorus 1] We all hide a diary beneath some mattress And someone has slept in my bed Sometimes I get so naked I sing like a canary And I scream out what I shouldn't scream [Verse 2] Some lies last a lifetime They keep our diaries hidden They don't let the whispers slip Between the cracks of the bathroom stalls Or be written on the bathroom walls [Chorus 2] But still I can hear those dirty birds chirp away It's a song I know by heart Sometimes I resent making friends and acquaintances It's a thin veil between us [Bridge] Between the bed springs and the mattress I keep my secrets The ones I can't keep The ones you Took from me The ones you scattered with your wings [Outro] It was nice to meet you It was nice to meet you It was nice to meet you
