Lyrics

Quiet the Rumor

V1
It will be better if we meet after midnight
Chances are we won’t be seen
Your friends and mine are probably sound asleep by now
And we can hold each other just like lovers dream

Might be a nuisance to remain unknown
Until we bring it to the light
Have to stay huddled in the lamppost shadows
And stray after midnight

V2
Both of our circles so grapple with their suspicions
The looks are hard to ignore, but even more when they look away
I want them to accept us as we have our own
But they can’t. That’s just too much for them to take

We can choose any color now that we have grown
Love even louder, and not hide in the corner booth
Reject the words we have been read
After they become the truth
And quiet the rumor to death


It’s so dark in here. I can’t find my way out
And I can’t hear a thing. What’d you say
Please don’t shout
Somebody lift this weight up off of my pillow
Somebody unbind me, somebody untwine me
If you lead me, I will surely follow
As long as it don’t cost me
Say you won’t drop me
And I’ll will keep my ears to the wall
And listen for the rumors as they fall

Chorus
It’s just a Rumor
What do they say
It’s just a rumor
What do they say
It’s just a rumor
Can’t you make it go away
Yes, it’s simple my dear
All you got to do is walk on over here

Solo


Might be a nuisance to remain unknown
Until we bring it to the light
Have to stay huddled in the lamppost shadows
And play after midnight

V3
One day maybe they’ll make a movie about us
I can only hope it’s no tragedy
A story about two lovers coming out way on top
And the credits roll as they kiss anxiously

Chorus
For now, it’s a just a rumor
What do they say
It’s just a rumor
What did she say
It’s just a rumor
Can you make it go away
Yes, it’s simple my dear
All you got to do is walk on over here
