You know why I'm not speaking up
The cat would never steal my tongue
Just waiting for my chance
To take the floor, and make it happen
This road takes you somewhere
But it will not put you in charge
You’ll need mas connection
Start watching dancing with the stars
Nod and smile, alright
Why you gotta be so midwest nice
Take your time, be polite
But never question why
Think we heard you the first time
You were speaking louder than you thought
Granted it was under your breath
We think you might’ve overshot
Where else have you running you mouth
Besides behind my back
I’m here to kill with kindness
consider yourself under attack
Nod and smile, alright
Why you gotta be so midwest nice
Take your time, be polite
But never question why

Knock down the door
Let’s find a better way
They can’t keep us apart
By boarding up the place.
Bottle up my feelings
Don’t show anyone
No, no matter what
Like a perfect gentleman
You said the bridge
Would always keep us safe
But then you moved away
And forgot the secret code
Tomorrow
you should try again
But you won’t
I can’t believe the words I said
Glad you knew what I meant
They’ll be no apology
Heart was in the right place
Mouth let the wrong words out,
We both had our doubts
Let's chop down the cherry tree
You said the bridge
Would always keep us safe
So I knew I had to stay
Too afraid to let go
Tomorrow,
I could try again
To find out where you went
Or make plans for me to leave
Break the lock and set me free
You are my
Skeleton key
Every door that I pulled shut
You could open up
Next time I
Tell you what I need,
Either tell me it’s enough
Or bring it home to me
[Bill laughs]
You are my
Skeleton key
Every door that I pulled shut
You could open up
Next time I
Tell you what I need,
Either tell me it’s enough
Or bring it home to me
You are my
Skeleton key
Every door that I pulled shut
You could open up
Next time I
Tell you what I need,
Either tell me it’s enough
Or bring it home to me

Please raise you hand
If you understand
The words I just said
Or the passage you scanned
Don't be a fool
Just be a man
The tip of my tongue
Words can't leave my lungs
What is the point
This was supposed to be fun
And besides look
I'm not even done
It appears my confidence
Is shook empty aerosol
The times when I tried to speak
Did I even say anything at all
I was at home
On was the television
Charts, and the graphs
And the speculation
Trying to sway
My decision
Tricks to deploy
The signal and noise
The anchors it seems
They're all just acting coy
But just watching this
It's hard to enjoy
It appears my confidence
Is shook empty aerosol
The times when I tried to speak
Did I even say anything
Worthwhile
Worthwhile
Worthwhile
Worthwhile
Worthwhile
Worthwhile
Taking in oxygen
Worthwhile
Small world we're living in
Worthwhile
Playing the hand I was dealt
Worthwhile
Wondering how I would've felt
Worthwhile
Had you been a jack and me a king
