Be Still - Bone Awl

Be Still Lyrics

Be still young heart
Never will you fall apart
Be still young heart
Never will you fall apart
Be wise, my dear, you must learn to just be still
Until you really, really know
Show me you're right, shine your light
I wonder when will I know
To hell if I don't pray like a mannequin in the window
I don't say a word I like to sit back, observe
My heart says do not disturb
And yours is like a doorknob, everybody get a turn
Now that's a turnoff, girl, I'm not concerned
More like the early bird tryin' to get the worm, worm
But not on those terms, you got on my nerves
Say I don't deserve you, you're gonna learn
Treat it like a perm, leave it be or let it burn
Eat 'em like an urr-ange, orange

So when they on the verge of leavin' it don't get borin'
Foreign trips are taken just to see your smiley faces
Time's a-wastin' and I don't like to waste no time
You can be down or, yeah
Be still young heart
Never will you fall apart
Be still young heart
Never will you fall apart
Be wise, my dear, you must learn to just be still
Until you really, really know
Show me you're right, shine your light
I wonder when will I know
I love bein' in love then you let me down
Turned my heart around
Givin' up on love, makes my ocean drown
You lived in my heart
Secret melodies haunt me at night
Maybe lies and lullabies
This is my last farewell
You let me down
Be still young heart
Never will you fall apart
Be still young heart
Never will you fall apart
Be wise, my dear, you must learn to just be still
Until you really, really know
Show me you're right, shine your light
I wonder when will I know
Yeah, behind the Cadillac do'
Grip this wood, slide around real slow
Just thinkin', mind blown
As I glare through the smoke tinted windows
And be still
Be still young heart
Never will you fall apart
Be still young heart
Never will you fall apart
Be wise, my dear, you must learn to just be still
Until you really, really know
Show me you're right, shine your light
I wonder when will I know
