    Swoon

    by: Silversun Pickups

    Who would know
    all the reasons you're alone
    if the seeds were planted firm my dear
    wouldn't the branches tear it all apart
    I'll tell you a secret
    let's make this perfectly clear
    there's no secrets this year
    I'll tell you a secret
    I'll make it perfectly clear
    there's no secrets this year
    so your hearts blown open
    pulsating in your ear
    the beat is insincere
    I'll tell you a secret
    let's make this perfectly clear
    there's no secrets this year
    too late little one
    I'm on the run
    you think I'm having all the fun
    I don't mind
    I'm still here
    everything seems perfect from down here
    that's the reason you still fear
    if the screams aren't buried oh my God
    you'll let the echoes shake it all apart
    I'll tell you a secret
    let's make this perfectly clear
    there's no secrets this year
    I'll tell you a secret
    I'll make it perfectly clear
    there's no secrets this year
    so your hearts blown open
    pulsating in your ear
    the beat is insincere
    I'll tell you a secret
    let's make this perfectly clear
    there's no secrets this year
    Lay your head down rest your feet
    I'll blow you kisses while you sleep
    and when I know you're safe and dreaming
    my escape plans in full swing
    (solo)
    who would know
    all the reasons you're a bore
    cause the seeds were planted firm right here
    let the branches tear it all apart
    I'll tell you a secret
    let's make this perfectly clear
    there's no secrets this year
    I'll tell you a secret
    I'll make it perfectly clear
    there's no secrets this year
    so your hearts blown open
    pulsating in your ear
    the beat is insincere
    I'll tell you a secret
    let's make this perfectly clear
    there's no secrets this year
    there's no secrets this year
    there's no secrets this year
    Better make sure
    Better make sure you're looking closely
    before you fall into your Swoon
