Jason Robert Brown - Nobody Needs To Know lyrics

JAMIE Hey, kid – good morning – You look like an angel. I don't remember when we fell asleep. We should get up, kid – Cathy is waiting… Look at us, lying here, Dreaming, pretending. I made a promise and I took a vow. I wrote a story, And we changed the ending – Cathy, just look at me now! Hold on, facts are facts – Just relax, lay low. All right, the panic recedes: Nobody needs to know. Put on my armor – I'm off to Ohio. Back into battle till I don't know when. Swearing to her that I Never was with you, And praying I'll hold you again. Hold on, clip these wings – Things get out of hand. All right, it's over, it's done – No one will understand. No one will understand… We build a treehouse, I keep it from shaking – Little more glue ev'ry time that it breaks. Perfectly balanced, And then I start making Conscious, deliberate mistakes. All that I ask for Is one little corner – One private room at the back of my heart. Tell her I found one, She sends out battalions To claim it and blow it apart. I grip and she grips, And faster we're sliding. Sliding and spilling, and what can I do? Come back to bed, kid – Take me inside you – I promise I won't lie to you. Hold on, don't cry yet – I won't let you go. All right – the panic recedes; All right – everyone bleeds; All right – I get what I need, And nobody needs To know. Nobody needs to know… And since I have to be in love with someone, Since I need to be in love with someone, Maybe I could be in love with someone Like you…
