Lyrics A Common Year

A Common Year

Keep My Secrets

It was simple enough to say I quit

And it was easier to claim I'm working on it

But when the empty seat that's next to me

Is filled with what I wish to be

It's hard to stick to your guns

Stick to your guns

That's what I've been told

You'll find conviction and answers

As you grow old

But every second that elapses

Leaves me dizzy and collapsing

To the floor

In search of so much more

What's the problem here?

Do you even know?

It's an easy call

To say that this won't end up well

Before I say a word

I think it's better

When I keep my secrets to myself

So here I have returned again

With a new perspective right where I began

But the test is always harder

Than the practice that precedes

Will I keep my head above?

What's the problem here?

Do you even know?

It's an easy call

To say that this won't end up well

Before I say a word

I think it's better

When I keep my secrets to myself

What's the problem here?

Do you even know?

It's an easy call

To say that this won't end up well

Before I say a word

I think that I should

Keep my secrets to myself

I'll keep my secrets to myself this time
