Nobody Needs to Know Songtext
von Norbert Leo Butz

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 till
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
And 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
