There's a pearl you keep
Inside your mouth
I only wish that
You could let it out
It would slide off your tongue
The way my words could
If that pearl came out
The way they wish I would

I need, I need, I need to spill you out
You can't, you can't, you cannot put me down
You don't, you don't, you don't hear how you sound
So don't, please don't, please do not turn me (inside) out

There's an air you keep
Inside your skin
I only wish that
You would let me in
And words hover there
Like the company you keep
But you would always
Return to me

I need, I need, I need to spill you out
You can't, you can't, you cannot put me down
You don't, you don't, you don't hear how you sound
So don't, please don't, please do not turn me (inside) out

I've seen, I've seen, I've seen just what you are
And you could, you could, you could not drop me now
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure you'd keep it out
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd speak it now

I need, I need, I need to spill you out
You can't, you can't, you cannot put me down
You don't, you don't, you don't hear how you sound
So don't, please don't, please do not turn me (inside) out
