I see you hanging on
By a worn-out bootlace
In a cool shade of blue
From all the images you chase

I know a game that you might like to play
I will pull this thread
And then just walk away
Watch it come undone
Hey don't you think that sounds fun?

Tell me a secret
I'll keep it like it's mine
If you're in need of confession
You can call me any time

I think you're holding out
Holding your breath and waiting
To feel something more than anticipating
You might like it and start begging me to stay
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
I won't tell anyone
Hey don't you think that sounds fun?

Tell me a secret
I'll keep it like it's mine
If you're in need of confession
You can call me any time

You hope and pray
You sit and wait
For someone to save you from yourself
I'll be the one
You can come clean to
And I promise I won't tell
(Promise I won't tell)
And I'll save you from yourself

Tell me a secret
I'll keep it like it's mine
If you're in need of confession
You can call me any time
