Lyrics

Keeping secrets never left me any peace
Nothing would feel so much like relief
As a close ear leaning in to hear
I fall fast, baby, and I fall steep
Nights you don’t call, honey
I don’t sleep so good – not so good anymore

You don’t want to be the cause of hurt
You don’t want me feeling so unsure
And I can’t bear to think of time you spent with her
Is that the beginning of love?
Or jealous fear and lonely hunger?

Swimming out into open ocean
It’s an unending sea far as I can see
Everything is so much bigger than me
I can’t fathom the beginning of it all
I won’t count on a happy end
But anything is possible

You don’t want to be the cause of hurt
You don’t want to make me unsure
I can’t bear to think of your memories of her
Is that the beginning of love?
Or jealous fear and lonely hunger?

How will I know if this is something good?
Will I know if that something good’s gone sour
Will I know if I’m lying to myself?
Will I be brave and go? If I run, am I a coward?

You don’t want to be the cause of hurt
You hate the ways I’m insecure
I can’t bear to think you with her
Is that the beginning of love? Or jealous fear and lonely hunger?
Is this love? Or jealous fear and lonely hunger?
