The Song I Swore to Never Sing Lyrics
We'll sew these eyes. You'll peel them back.
We'll frame these words. Oh dear i just need some time.
You've earned the right.
You've earned the right to know
Why i need this time away.
and you need to feel right.
Fool yourself, surprise your friends.
Raise a toast to everything we once had.
I'm still afraid to be alone.
You found me out.
I need this time to breathe.
Give me space, i'll give you me.
In time we'll sort this out.
I'll keep this secret safe with me.
I know you've earned the right.
Kill yourself, surprise your friends.
Raise a toast to everything we once had.
We'll frame these words. Oh dear i just need some time.
You've earned the right to know
Why i need this time away.
and you need to feel right.
Raise a toast to everything we once had.
I'm still afraid to be alone.
I need this time to breathe.
Give me space, i'll give you me.
In time we'll sort this out.
I'll keep this secret safe with me.
I know you've earned the right.
Raise a toast to everything we once had.

probably the best song off of "the red tree" moneen has gotten way better with this album
Pretty decent song... not my favorite by them, but definitely my favorite off this album...
WEZ
this song sounds quite beautiful. i love when all the music stops at that one point. i got this album the week it came out, but im only now giving it a thorough listen. good stuff.
holy moly such a good song. im always sad when its over...hooray for moneen
im not enirely sure what its about...possibly needing a break from everyone, and wanting some time to yourself to figure things out even though you're scared. i dunno. ammazing song
This song is apparently the only love song that "slipped onto the record", according to Kenny when I saw them live. He said he intended for the cd to have no love songs but this one got on it. Not sure exactly what its about.
I guess what ourmodernred said explains the title. I always imagine this song being played at the end of a film
He's asking someone to wait for him while he sorts out his life, he's asking her to wait because he's afraid to be alone, and he'll keep their love a secret if he has to, because she's earned the right for it.
does anyone know where I could get the piano notes for this song?
im not sure i get mixed messages from this song i think i have it figured out and then i find a line or two that contradict my theory
i think its about a good life gone downhill only because the person was so afraid it would so it did youre so focused on keeping everything good that you forget to live and you lose everything
and as for theory #2: i agree with the people that said it was about needing to take a break from everything that stuff gets so overwhelming and you dont know how you got to this point
