"Little Secrets" Lyrics - Passion Pit

Lyrics

“Little Secrets”


When I came down the dawn poured into me

I shook em up, the walls came crumbling

My fists kept trembling with these salty wounds

My stolen gold inside the emperors tomb


Now painting rainbows on my ugly face

I built this cardboard neighborhoods disgrace

But I ascend and serve my feverish need

Within the confines of such chemistry


It’s the way I see

Everything I need

It’s no way to be


Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know were feeling

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher


But I feel alive and I feel it in me

Up and up I keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher


My face blew up at such a casual sight

The smattered colors of ecstatic fright

The rush above me to oblivion

Outlining wet sidewalks in halogen


Oh have you ever felt so goddamn strong

How come it takes some people so damn long

He tried to squeeze the lemon juice to rain

The citrus drawing out the scene in stains


Watch the basin drain

As your life lines wane

And you cant explain

As your friends complain


You’ve caused all this pain

And you proudly shame

Your whole families name


Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know were feeling

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher


But I feel alive and I feel it in me

Up and up I keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher


Mother I can tell what you’ve been thinking

Staring at the stars on your ceiling

Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding

And now I’ve hit the mark

Stabbing at the dark

And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars


Let this be our little secret

No-one needs to know we’re feeling

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher


But I feel alive and feel it in me

Up and up I keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher


Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know were feeling

Higher and higher and higher


But I feel alive and I feel it in me

Up and up and keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher
