Kahil Gibran Lyrics
Even with the lights out
I'm still feeling nervous
Keep it to myself
An island in a furnace
I don't want to say it
I just want to lay here
Always on my mind
I'd rather we just know it
Needles when I'm talking
Nothing feels the same here
Pull myself together
While I'm getting older
I don't wanna to say it
I don't wanna answer
Keep it to myself
Tonight I can't say nothing
Turn off the sound tonight
The silence was much better
Look in your eyes a sign
Our thoughts all blend together
Quiet and underground
The feeling was just being
Nothing but time for us
Our thoughts all lose their meaning
Inside a light for us
The days are getting shorter
And how I want to stay
Just send my letters over
Keeping the sun light out
Hearts gently beat together
Nothing was left to say
The silence is much better
Needles when I'm talking
Nothing feels the same here
Pull myself together
While I'm getting older
I don't wanna to say it
I don't wanna answer
Keep it to myself
Tonight I can't say nothing
Even with the lights out
I'm still feeling nervous
Keep it to myself
An island in a furnace
I don't want to say it
I just want to lay here
Always on my mind
I'd rather we just know it
But I, I don't want to know
I'm still feeling nervous
Keep it to myself
An island in a furnace
I don't want to say it
I just want to lay here
Always on my mind
I'd rather we just know it
Needles when I'm talking
Nothing feels the same here
Pull myself together
While I'm getting older
I don't wanna to say it
I don't wanna answer
Keep it to myself
Tonight I can't say nothing
The silence was much better
Look in your eyes a sign
Our thoughts all blend together
Quiet and underground
The feeling was just being
Nothing but time for us
Our thoughts all lose their meaning
Inside a light for us
The days are getting shorter
And how I want to stay
Just send my letters over
Keeping the sun light out
Hearts gently beat together
Nothing was left to say
The silence is much better
Nothing feels the same here
Pull myself together
While I'm getting older
I don't wanna to say it
I don't wanna answer
Keep it to myself
Tonight I can't say nothing
Even with the lights out
I'm still feeling nervous
Keep it to myself
An island in a furnace
I don't want to say it
I just want to lay here
Always on my mind
I'd rather we just know it

I think that the singer is in love ( Not just love, madly in love) with someone, but he just doesn't want to let them know or at least he doesn't have the courage to say it to them. Probably because he is afraid that the other person doesn't love him back and he doesn't have the strength to handle the rejection. So he just wants to leave things as it is, where neither say anything to each other and so, no one will ever know if they could have been together.
@Quentintarantiny I too think the singer is madly, deeply in love. But I don't think it's the case that he doesn't want to tell them. I think it's more that the love is so deep that words can only cheapen it. Their connection is so strong that speech/words can only limit it. Some of the lines in this song:

Personally, I find so much beauty in this...
Personally, I find so much beauty in this song and its lyrics because it succeeds in describing an indescribable feeling that (a) I've only felt on a couple of special occasions and (b) you can't summon. It requires another person with whom eye contact is out-of-body elating. This always requires I push the more immediate fear aside.
@Quentintarantiny I think he’s dreading the idea of proposing. Or I could see him struggling with the idea of professing love even during physical lovemaking.
