The Secret's In the Telling - Dashboard Confessional

so as we can all see, that one runner kid hasn't posted in quite a while either. so in keeping up tradition, i've decided to post on a more recent dashboard song. this one's called "The Secret's in the Telling."

The signal is subtle
We pass just close enough to touch
No questions, no answers
We know by now to say enough
With only simple words
With only subtle turns
The things we feel alone for one another
so ther's this girl (of course there is). anyway you know this girl so well. unbelievably well. your feelings for her are astronomical. you can barely keep them inside of you. she's also got those same feelings for you. so the thing is, you don't have to mention it. those feelings are COMPLETELY mutual, and you both know it. simple words from each other, subtle movements, they all scream out the emotions inside, and you both know what's there.

There is a secret that we keep
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
We are compelled to do what we must do
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
the scale of those feelings aren't even completely known by anyone but you two. it's a beautiful thing, but when in certain situations, those feelings can't be shown. so on the outside, you're both being forced to do what you know must be done. but in the secret.. on the inside.. unknown to most other people.. those feelings keep cultivating each day.

So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight
as long as we both know those feelings are mutual, then our hearts, our emotions, won't ever change. ever.

Our act of defiance
We keep this secret in our blood
No paper or letters
We pass just close enough to touch
We love in secret names
We hide within our veins
The things that keep us bound to one another
you both know the little things that each other do to show affection. the smallest of glances. the slightest touch; it's all there, and everything is so real.

Until the last resilient hope
Is frozen deep inside my bones
And this broken fate has claimed me
And my memories for its own
Your name is pounding through my veins
Can't you hear how it is sung?
And I can taste you in my mouth
Before the words escape my lungs
both of you will do whatever it takes to not let your rules tear apart the feelings you have for each other. those feelings will never end, even if they can't be shown.

And I'll whisper only once...
you might add in more than just a subtle look, more than just a slight touch.. just to remind them of who you are and where your heart has been given. but not very often...

this has been an evaluation (and possibly a very slight exaggeration of what's going on) by that one runner kid.
