The signal
Is subtle
We pass just close enough to touch
No questions
No answers
We know by now to say enough
With only simple words
With only subtle terms
The things we feel alone from one another

There is a secret that we keep
I won’t sleep if you won’t sleep
Because tonight may be the last chance we’ll be given

We are compelled to do
What we must do
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

So I won’t sleep if you won’t sleep
Tonight

Our act of
Defiance
We keep this secret in our blood
No paper
Or letters
We pass just close enough to touch
We love in secret names
We hide within our veins
The things that keep us bound to one another

There is a secret that we keep
I won’t sleep if you won’t sleep
Because tonight may be the last chance we’ll be given

We are compelled to do
What we must do
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

Until the last resilient hope
Has frozen deep inside my bones
And this broken fate has claimed me
And my memories for its own
Your name is pounding through my veins
Can’t you hear how it is sung
And I can taste you in my mouth,
Before the words escape my lungs
And I whisper only once

There is a secret that we keep
I won’t sleep if you won’t sleep
Because tonight may be the last chance we’ll be given

We are compelled to do
What we must do
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

Cause you will be somebody’s girl
And you will keep each other warm
But tonight, I am feeling the cold
