Just between you and me
This room is so crowded
There's no room left for doubt
Just before you speak
I'll savor this rhythm
Conversation without

If I could contain myself
Stay my hand and restless mind
If I could stop before I catch your eye
Then why should I?

Just because I believe
In gods and monsters
Doesn't make me one
Just believe what you hear
The sound of your whisper
Like a smoking gun

If I could contain myself
Stay my hand and restless mind
If I could stop before I catch your eye
Then why should I?

If I could contain myself
Stay my hand and restless mind
If I could contain myself
Stay my hand and restless mind
If I could stop before I catch your eye
Then why should I?

Just between you and me...
