Relient K

I was gonna spell it out
In detail but
I dropped the call
Before I spilled my guts
The floor stayed clean
Like my conscience would be
Cuz if you heard anything
You didn't hear it from me
I'm sweeping up the seconds
That tick off the clock
Save them all for later
When I'm too ticked to talk
And I need some time
To search my mind
To locate the words
That seem so hard to find
And sometimes I say things that
I wish that I could take back
The most crucial thing in life is
The thing called tact
And if your hour's so intently listening
Then the smartest thing to say
Is to tell myself not to say a thing
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet
Don't let it all come undone
Cuz if I dare open my mouth
It'll just be to bite my tongue
To bit my tongue
I said I'm always close-minded
With an open mouth
And the worst of me
Seems to come right out
But I've never broken bones
With a stone or a stick
But I've conjured up a phrase
