Shut Your Mouth

from Catalog Artist by Letter Seventeen

lyrics

Stop the words before they get away (shut your mouth)
Stretch you reach, stop the things you say
Got to hope that no one’s there to hear you
Sharpened words are so hard to undo

Why can’t you just shut your mouth?
Control the things you say
Why can’t you just shut your mouth?
Keep it to yourself

Check your watch, hope to turn back time
That’s mostly theoretical
Duck for cover, hide out from the shame
Your mouth is quite heretical

Why can’t you just shut your mouth?
Control the things you say
Why can’t you just shut your mouth?
Keep it to yourself

Hoping to undo the damage
Try reversing course, if you can
If only you could find a way to manage
Taking back the words

Why can’t you just shut your mouth?
Control the things you say
Why can’t you just shut your mouth?
Keep it to yourself

about

Letter Seventeen Norcross

Whimsical indie pop from a one-man band. Except when other people help. Which is quite often. So it's not like a one-man band at all.
Oh. And there are songs about donkeys.
