Nobody Needs to Know

作曲 : Jason Robert Brown

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 'til 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 every 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…

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…
