Across Five Aprils: Let's Whisper

Let's whisper things into your ear
making sure to discard what you hear.
What you know is safe, but she seems to have played this game.
Stay on the base and you'll see it's not worth you taking the blame.

She looks so pretty that it's such a pity
That she won't be needing help for this beating (RIGHT NOW)
She looks so pretty and it's such a pity
That she won't be needing help for this beating

This city is weeping
Things are not what they seem
What is your warm blanket
To me it's everything
All under, sleep safely
The safest kind of dreams
Not knowing it's over
One day you'll hear me sing.

Can I give you all that I hold dear?
Till this moment, it's been a long hard year.
Day in day out I watched my chance go by.
Now opportunity is right here by my side.

And finally all of this makes sense to me.
I gotta be the kind of man who lets you be.
And finally all of this makes sense to me.
I gotta be the kind of man who lets you be
and has to see you running free,
with parts of me, gracefully, leaving it so easily.

Have you ever ran this race?
It all leads to disaster.
I'll be the one who's standing straight.
I promise I'll be faster.

Three things she said to me,
Don't play with my heart.
Don't be cruel to me.
Be honest from the start.
Don't mean a word of it.
Put me on the shelf.
You have nothing to give.
You only love yourself.

And finally all of this makes sense to me.
I gotta be the kind of man who lets you be.
And finally all of this makes sense to me.
I gotta be the kind of man who lets you be
and has to see you running free,
with parts of me, gracefully, leaving it so easily.

Let's whisper silently.
Let's whisper only for me.
Let's whisper silently.
Let's whisper only for me.
