You call me all the right words but the right words sound so wrong
You say that I am changing, I guess I will before too long
Will you give me a way out or a past to live down?
Either way it couldn’t be worse than it is now
I'm watching while a wild dog makes ripples round and round
Is every single whisper a life that we should know by now or is it just a sound?
Something keeps a river from sinking into the ground
Was I ever any different?
It's the simplest ones, the simplest ones
White lies in the night
If I could be yours and you could be mine
As long as it rhymes, it's all that I'll ever need
I hear white lies in the night
If I could be yours and you could be mine
We keep what we hide and you told such simple lies
Now that we are free, Verona, won't you keep me out?
Drive me to the city where every building shouts
I want to hear some people, I want to leave the windows down
I never will believe you, you should know why by now
And it's the simplest things we want
But we can never see enough
And it's the simplest things we want
It's the simplest ones, the simplest ones
White lies in the night
If I could be yours and you could be mine
As long as it rhymes, it's all that I'll ever need
I hear white lies in the night
If I could be yours and you could be mine
We keep what we hide and you told such simple lies
