Making Friends And Acquaintances

Cursive

Loose-lipped secrets 
I've seen those birdies chirping 
Another promise perched on their fragile branches 
Cradle and all... 

We all hide a diary beneath some mattress 
And someone has slept in my bed 
Sometimes I get so naked I sing like a canary 
And I scream out what I shouldn't scream 

Some lies last a lifetime 
They keep our diaries hidden 
They don't let the whispers slip 
Between the cracks of the bathroom stalls 
Or be written on the bathroom walls.... 

But still I can hear those dirty birds chirp away 
It's a song I know by heart 
Sometimes I resent making friends and acquaintances 
It's a thin veil between us -- 

Between the bedsprings and the mattress 
I keep my secrets 
The ones I can't keep 
The ones you took from me 
The ones you scattered with your wings 

It was nice to meet you... 
It was nice to meet you... 
It was nice to meet you...
