Lyrics

I’ll Tell You Later
Drew James © 2008
 
Dry your eyes
There’s a million dreams about you
Mesmerized
They can’t spin their tales without you
Pale moonlight
Slips in through the open window
Hold on tight
This is where the midnight wind blows
Through your mind
 
Close your ears
There is nothing left to hear
All the simple words that scratch beneath the crowded surface
Have now fulfilled their useful purpose
And turned away like total strangers
So I can’t tell you now I’ll tell you later
Can’t tell you now I’ll tell you later
Can’t tell you now I’ll tell you later
 
Truth or lies?
Both are told by saints and sinners
Who decides?
Can’t tell the losers from the winners
Paradise
Is sweeter than a thousand crimes
If I’ve heard it twice
I’ve heard it a thousand times
So I would mind
 
(Chorus)
 
I know anything that I might say
Would sound like some old tired refrain
It’s gentle meaning used and worn away
Just like yesterday
Like goodbye
 
Can’t tell you now I’ll tell you later (X2)
 
(Bridge)
 
Can’t tell you now I’ll tell you later (X2)
