Gag Order

I haven't muttered a word
I haven't heard if you've heard that
I've been hanging hella low
Keep my head down as I go
Have you heard? Hmm?
A certain kind of vow of silence
Tucked behind it I stay hiding
From the world
I don't know if you've heard
(Have you heard? have you heard? have you heard? I don't think that you have heard)

Cuz I've got treasures in a chest
You'd never dream of
Hold lyrics to my heart that I can't speak of
Gag order
Let me hit you next quarter
I've been known to speak my mind
Just when it feels right
And the sentences are forming
But my lips stay tight
Gag order
Mmm order

I heard you stumble and stall
I heard you blurt out it all, oh
A propensity for the wrong words
Can't take back just what I've heard
I tried, I tried to talk it to the other side
Be the cool one for one time
Goodbye, goodbye
You know I was never good at those
Round and round and round and

I've got dreams of us together
Plaguing me at night
And got rid of your dad's number
'Cause he isn't mine
Gag order
At least you got sober
And the chip that I got for you
Was returned to sender
And if that's not a metaphor
That I should know better
Gag order
Mmm order

You know it's hard for me (You know it's hard for me)
My sharp tongue can be my best friend
Or my enemy (Or my enemy)
I think too much
Then speak too much
Maybe I'll try listening
And when the quiet sets in

I think of us together camping in your yard
When we'd sing and sleep and laugh under
Midnight stars
Gag order
On a four-leaf clover
Then I climb out of a well
Although my bones are weary
I'm love drunk, I'm love sick and
Can't see clearly
Gag order
And then it was
