Secretly Canadian - Speak lyrics

[Verse 1] I didn't hear you enter but I know you have been circling my room I listen for your footsteps, close my eyes and wait for you to move You're hiding like a memory, teasing like a girl I used to know You're tumbling and gamboling, calling to the weakness in my soul [Chorus] Telling me to speak [Verse 2] And in one reckless moment you move a little too close to my ear I grab a hold with both hands and scramble to make sense of what I hear I try to tie you down with synonyms and sad piano sounds For a moment you surrender, one moment we both stand on the same ground [Chorus] And I begin to speak [Verse 3] And all at once you pull away but I'm lost within your atmosphere As quickly as you found me I panic as you try to disappear I reach out with my fingers and try to pull the letters back in line Your words spin out of order and the pounding in my chest is out of time [Chorus] And I just want to speak
