Staples


VERSE ONE:
Of all the things I’ve done wrong
This might be the best
I never said it out loud though
‘Cause you would have laughed

CHORUS:
But I’ll keep quiet
I know when to stop
I wouldn’t worry too much
About what I’m going to say
These staples keep my mouth shut
And that’s how it’s going to stay

VERSE TWO:
Of all the things I’ve never felt
This one might be the worst
I never showed it in public though
‘Cause you would have fallen too fast

INSET:
They hold my mouth shut
To keep all the good things in
While all the bad things
Are escaping through
The creases they have left

CHORUS: (x2)
But I’ll keep quiet
I know when to stop
I wouldn’t worry too much
About what I’m going to say
These staples keep my mouth shut
And that’s how it’s going to stay
