Lyrics

Throw your suitcase in here

Ease a little closer

Now just relax

[Instrumental]

And half-close your eyes

Tell me what's wrong with me

Say it in a clear cold whisper

How can I grow old?

If I don't know

Are you afraid to sing it?

See, keeping secrets will destroy you

And how can I grow old?

If I don't know

[Instrumental]

Throw your suitcase in here

Ease a little closer

Now just relax (Relax)

[Instrumental]

And half-close your eyes

Tell me what's wrong with me

Yeah, say it in a clear cold whisper

And how can I grow old?

If I don't know

Are you afraid to sing it?

See, keeping secrets will destroy you

And how can I grow old?

If I don't know

[Instrumental]

Throw your suitcase in here

Ease a little closer (Closer), now just relax

[Instrumental]

And half-close your eyes

Tell me what's wrong with me

And say it in a clear cold whisper

'Cause how can I grow old?

If I don't know

Are you afraid to sing it?

See, keeping secrets will destroy you

And how can I grow old?

If I don't know
