Fifth

Today I told a stranger all my darkest secrets

The ones that always leave me sleepless

She seemed more distracted by the clock above the door

Counting down the seconds, 'cause she'd heard it all before

Or maybe she was waiting for someone to break it down and cuff me

Today I told my daddy all my darkest secrets

The ones that always leave me dreamless

He seemed more distracted by the cross above the door

Counting down until the second coming of the Lord

Or maybe he was praying for someone to break it down and cuff me

Oh shucks, I think I've gone and said way too much

I think I should have kept my mouth shut

I should have took the fifth

Today I told a stranger I was just a liar

And I take back every secret that I told her prior

But she seemed unconvinced and now I'm looking at the door

Counting down the seconds till they break it down and take me away

Oh shucks, I think I've gone and said way too much

I think should have kept my mouth shut

Oh, can't you tell me that my time's up?

I should have took the fifth

I think I might have gone and said too much

Maybe I should have kept my big mouth shut

Hold out my hands, I'm ready for the cuffs

I should have took the fifth
