Stupid Mouth Shut Lyrics - Hem

The sidewalk bends where your house ends 

Like the neighborhood is on its knees 

Surrounded by a chain link fence 

Keeps me out but let's me see 

Well, I come by most every night 

The shutters pounding in the breeze 

A clothesline strung like paper kites 

Blow my words right back at me, back at me 

Someday when my heart exhales 

I'll tell you everything 

Those sweet words spilling all about us 

I'll say please, please be with me 

And I'll breathe so easily 

But instead I'm turning blue 

I look at you 

And keep my stupid mouth shut 

The hall light streams out through the screens 

And the shadows capture me in webs 

Just tangled up in what I've seen 

And every word I have not said, I have not said 

Someday when my heart exhales 

I'll tell you everything 

Those sweet words spilling all about us 

I'll say please, please be with me 

And I'll breathe so easily 

But instead I'm turning blue 

I look at you 

And keep my stupid mouth shut 

'Cause the sidewalk bends where your house ends 

Like the neighborhood is on its knees
