Making Friends And Acquaintances Lyrics - Cursive

Loose-lipped secrets 

I've seen those birdies chirping 

Another promise perched on their fragile branches 

Cradle and all... 

We all hide a diary beneath some mattress 

And someone has slept in my bed 

Sometimes I get so naked I sing like a canary 

And I scream out what I shouldn't scream 

Some lies last a lifetime 

They keep our diaries hidden 

They don't let the whispers slip 

Between the cracks of the bathroom stalls 

Or be written on the bathroom walls.... 

But still I can hear those dirty birds chirp away 

It's a song I know by heart 

Sometimes I resent making friends and acquaintances 

It's a thin veil between us -- 

Between the bedsprings and the mattress 

I keep my secrets 

The ones I can't keep 

The ones you took from me 

The ones you scattered with your wings 

It was nice to meet you... 

It was nice to meet you... 

It was nice to meet you...
