Summer Song

Would it feel the same if I never told you anything?
If I never let my heartbeat out of my skin?
Would it sting like it does if I never told you anything?
If I held back, hit the brakes, if I reigned in?

Or would you know the difference if I did?
That so much of what I said to you was nearly left unsaid?
Would you know the difference if I did?
That for every thought I spoke aloud, one lingered in my head?
Would you know the difference if I did?

And I lay in your arms and I opened up my heart to you
And I led you through the mazes of my mind
When you wandered inside, did you tie your heartstrings onto mine?
Like a labyrinth, to lead you out alive?

Or would you know the difference if I lied?
That behind the guise of honesty, I found a place to hide?
Would you know the difference if I lied?
Could I give the name of clarity to keeping this inside?
Would you know the difference if I lied?

[Interlude]

Would you know the difference if I did?
That so much of what I said to you was nearly left unsaid?
Would you know the difference if I did?
That for every thought I spoke aloud, one lingered in my head?
Would you know the difference if I did?
