There's a color running through your blood
Such a hasty shade of blonde
You're that awful sort of dangerous
Kind that keeps me hanging on

Darkness does appear when
I can see the secrets hangin' 'round your neck
When we're shirtless, assessing the risk
Prick your finger on a kiss

Tell no one about it
They don't need to know
I'd chalk a line around it
If I could let you go
Keep me quiet, honey
And I promise to
Tell no one about you

Trap the passion, baby, lock the trunk
Catch the keys and hit the road
Went to sleep hungover, woke up drunk
Baby shake that aspirin snowglobe

Darkness does appear when
I'll present you with a temporary fix
My accomplice, this bottomless pit
It's 'bout as deep as it could get

Tell no one about it
They don't need to know
I'd chalk a line around it
If I could let you go
Keep me quiet, honey
And I promise to
Tell no one about you

The reflection
In the cold
You're on the run
Things got me wonderin'
How the sun came up before

Tell no one about it
They don't need to know
I'd chalk a line around it
If I could let you go
Keep me quiet, honey
And I promise to
Tell no one about you
