Don't Tell a Soul

Intro

Oh oh

Yeah yeah

Chorus

Shadows in the yard and we hide the car

She is trouble in a dress but she left a scar

Every single word is a loaded gun

I know I should leave but we’ve just begun

Don't you tell a soul where you’re really going

Don't you let them see what is already showing

Shadows in the yard and we hide the car

Yeah we hide the car

Verse 1

Midnight grass is damp on my feet

You are the secret that I have to keep

The moon is hanging low and white

Looking like a ghost in the humid night

We are moving fast through the dark

Trying not to leave any kind of mark

Checking over shoulders at the gate

Staying out late

Knowing it’s a mistake

Chorus

Shadows in the yard and we hide the car

She is trouble in a dress but she left a scar

Every single word is a loaded gun

I know I should leave but we’ve just begun

Don't you tell a soul where you’re really going

Don't you let them see what is already showing

Shadows in the yard and we hide the car

Yeah we hide the car

Verse 2

Her father watches from the porch

Eyes burning hot like a golden torch

Your perfume smells like salt and lime

Running out of breath and running out of time

Window screens are vibrating with the heat

Stolen summer moments making life sweet

One small slip and we go down

Living underground

Worst kept secret in town

Chorus

Shadows in the yard and we hide the car

She is trouble in a dress but she left a scar

Every single word is a loaded gun

I know I should leave but we’ve just begun

Don't you tell a soul where you’re really going

Don't you let them see what is already showing

Shadows in the yard and we hide the car

Yeah we hide the car

Bridge

Pull the curtains tight

Shut out all the light

I came, I saw, I stayed

High price for the game we played

Don't speak a name

Don't take the blame

Chorus

Shadows in the yard and we hide the car

She is trouble in a dress but she left a scar

Every single word is a loaded gun

I know I should leave but we’ve just begun

Don't you tell a soul where you’re really going

Don't you let them see what is already showing

Shadows in the yard and we hide the car

Yeah we hide the car
