Couldn't Tell

They questioned the king upon leavin'
Said, "Open your eyes when you're seein'"
With her, all the singing came easy
All gold, cut the sun in the evenin'

But the birds have stopped singin' this season
Alright, alright, definite schemin'
I've never been good at this really, I started to see
That birds need a reason to sing

I'll be makin' my way
Walk tall and don't go
When you're lonely

Curse of our sinnin' and healin'
I do all of this hopin' she'll see me
I envy the sea, heavy seethin'
The water and all of it breathin'

Sacred, the secrets I'm keepin'
How we danced under circular ceilin's
All the embraces we've been in

Bring back one last time for the summers we saw
Second-guessing it now
You were all on my mind, I'd love if you call
I'd love if you called

Now, I couldn't tell (tell), but she's keepin' me well
All of my secrets release and its pieces of me, alone
Honestly, destined to fail, but
You were all on my mind 'til we made what we are
'Til we kissed in the car, now, I couldn't

All in, fallin', vulnerable as hell
Not stallin' callin', girl, you knew me well
Mmm (hmm, hmm)
I like how the forest is leanin'

Bring back one last time for the summers we saw
Second-guessing it now (guess)
You were all on my mind, I'd love if you called
I'd love if you called

Now, I couldn't tell (tell), but she's keepin' me well
All of my secrets release and its pieces of me, alone
Honestly, destined to fail, but
You were all on my mind, 'til we made what we are
'Til we kissed in the car, now I couldn't (now I couldn't)

I couldn't now, I couldn't now, 'right
Been at all, been at all
I couldn't now, I couldn't now, 'right
Been at all, been at all

Bring back one last time for the summers we saw
Second-guessing it now
You were all on my mind, I'd love if you called
I'd love if you called

Now, I couldn't tell, but she's keepin' me well
All of my secrets release and its pieces of me, alone
Honestly, destined to fail, but
You were all on my mind, 'til we made what we are
'Til we kissed in the car, now I couldn't
