Muddy Boot Prints

Verse 1

Late night

I saw you

Sneaking by the old red gate

Cold wind

Heavy gate

Left a muddy boot print by the door

I saw

I know

Nobody else was awake to see it

Tangled hair

Wild stare

Looking like a ghost in the gray light

Chorus

Keeping it down

Keeping it down

I won't tell a soul what you did

Keeping it down

Keeping it down

Locked inside my head

Safe under the floor

Safe under the floor

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Keep it quiet

Oh oh oh

Keep it quiet

Keep it quiet

Verse 2

Dusty glass

Broken glass

Watching from the attic window pane

I saw

I heard

I felt the floorboards start to shake

Blood stains

Deep stains

Scrubbing at the wood until it bled

Small lie

Tall lie

Telling everybody you were home

Hard truth

Bitter truth

Buried in the dirt out back

Chorus

Keeping it down

Keeping it down

I won't tell a soul what you did

Keeping it down

Keeping it down

Locked inside my head

Safe under the floor

Safe under the floor

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Keep it quiet

Oh oh oh

Keep it quiet

Keep it quiet

Bridge

Maybe it's wrong

Maybe it's right

Maybe it's just the way it goes

I see you

I hear you

I keep you

Never gonna let the secret out

Never gonna let the secret out

Never gonna let the secret out

Chorus

Keeping it down

Keeping it down

I won't tell a soul what you did

Keeping it down

Keeping it down

Locked inside my head

Safe under the floor

Safe under the floor

Outro

Shh

Just keep it quiet

Our little secret

Our little secret

Safe under the floor
