Fort Knox

(album: The Credit - 2015)

It's a well kept secret
A truth we never speak of
But nonetheless I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your eyes and
It hasn't been enough weeks yet
Conventions leave us speechless
And I adore you but I am left tongue tied
I am left tongue tied and

The three little words appear on the radio or in a TV show
And I look at you to see if you heard it too
Did it light a spark in you?

I forget about what, when, time, and place (forget about, I forget about)
Can't get my tongue trying to keep my secret safe (desperately trying to keep it safe)
But I guess I can't hold it in much longer, feelings growing stronger
'Till I'm forced to say
I'm forced to say
I love you
I love you

I'll keep it shut like the Fort Knox
Keep my sentiment on lock down, down
So we get to say it, afraid I may break it
And after you take me there I taste it on your lips
I see it in your stare
And I bite my tongue and hold my breath
I wouldn't want to be premature
God forbid I end up premature

Said, I forget about what, when, time, and place (I forget about, I forget about)
Can't get my tongue trying to keep my secret safe (desperately trying to keep it safe)
But I guess I can't hold it in much longer, feelings growing stronger
'Till I'm forced to say
I'm forced to say
I love you
I love you

So what will happen come down, I wake up and the thrills gone
Or will I feel it beating harder in your chest
Your heart beat harder in your chest
And after you take me there I taste it on your lips
I see it in your stare
And I bite my tongue and hold my breath
I wouldn't want to be premature

Keep it shut like the Fort Knox, like the Fort Knox
Keep it shut like the Fort Knox
Keep my sentiment, keep my sentiment on lock down
