Elephant in the Room - Composit

Not quite two years ago when we got started

Huddled together in the wind and rain on Echo Beach

You kissed me

As if there wasn’t anyone around us

But you and I were two out of five thousand lonely hearts

Swaying in the dark

You held my hand and moved in tight

Our bodies bathed in the concert lights

Our skin so cold, our hearts so warm

Back then our intentions were so pure

And in those moments I was sure

That we could weather any storm

But now you’re hiding us away

We die a little more each day

And you just look the other way

If we don’t face up to it soon

The elephant that’s in the room

Could be the end of me and you

There was a time you’d shout it from a mountain

Back then you told me that you didn’t care who knew the truth

I trusted you

Now you keep asking me to keep things quiet

Making excuses, telling lies, pretending not to see

That you’re losing me

'Cause now you’re hiding us away

We die a little more each day

And you just look the other way

If we don’t face up to it soon

The elephant that’s in the room

Could be the end of me and you

I don’t know who or what’s to blame

But I know things can’t stay the same

So don’t pretend that nothing’s changed

If we don’t face up to it soon

The elephant that’s in the room

Could be the end of me and, you…

Why are you hiding us away?

We die a little more each day

And you just look the other way

If we don’t face up to it soon

The elephant that’s in the room

Will be the end of me and you
