Little Secrets Lyrics - Manners - Passion Pit

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 the way to be 

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, 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 

This miracle is of ecstatic fright 

They'll rush above me to oblivion 

Outlining white sidewalks with halogen 

Oh, have you ever felt so goddamn strong 

How come it takes some people so damn long 

He turned to squeeze the lemon juice to rain 

The citrus drawing out the seasons stains 

Watch the basin drain 

As your life lines wane 

And you can't explain 

As your friends complain 

You've caused all this pain 

And you proudly shame 

Your whole family's name 

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 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, staring 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, I feel it in me 

Up and up I keep on climbing 

Higher and higher and higher 

Higher and higher and higher 

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, I feel it in me 

Up and up I keep on climbing 

Higher and higher and higher 

Higher and higher and higher
