lyrics

Good thing, good thing
Won’t you stay a little while?
Good thing, good thing
You make me feel just like a child.
Good thing,
I won’t tell a soul.
Good thing,
I will learn to swallow my words whole.

Big mouth,
Am I ruining the good things?
Big mouth,
just trying to feel proud of something.

I won’t say a word
If it’ll make it stick.
I won’t say a word
Though I’m making myself sick.

Good thing,
Will a secret make you stay?
Good thing,
Did the thought of my mouth scare you away?

I’ll never talk about it.
I promise I’ll never talk about it.
Because if I talk about it
I’ll ruin it.
I’ll never speak of it.
I can never speak of it.
‘Cause if I speak of it
I’ll ruin it.
I’ve ruined it.
