Making Friends and Acquaintances

[Verse 1]
Loose-lipped secrets
I've seen those birdies chirping
Another promise perched on their fragile branches
Cradle and all

[Chorus 1]
We all hide a diary beneath some mattress
And someone has slept in my bed
Sometimes I get so naked I sing like a canary
And I scream out what I shouldn't scream

[Verse 2]
Some lies last a lifetime
They keep our diaries hidden
They don't let the whispers slip
Between the cracks of the bathroom stalls
Or be written on the bathroom walls

[Chorus 2]
But still I can hear those dirty birds chirp away
It's a song I know by heart
Sometimes I resent making friends and acquaintances
It's a thin veil between us

[Bridge]
Between the bed springs and the mattress
I keep my secrets
The ones I can't keep
The ones you
Took from me
The ones you scattered with your wings

[Outro]
It was nice to meet you
It was nice to meet you
It was nice to meet you
