From the recording The Long Night
Lyrics
4.Loud And Clear
it isn’t easy to keep in the closet
I’m wearing my heart on my sleeve
we could easily close it and not get
over the make believe
some days a chemical balance
happens
I’m a picture and you’re a frame
I’m a window you’re a pain
maybe there’s a challenge here
you’re making it loud and clear
while I’m playing with ideas
you’re gonna have to be nice
yeah you’re gonna have to be
you make me defend what I’m saying
I’m wearing a smile and a shield
we could maybe pretend to be playing
or we can make a deal
some days the musical talent
balances
I’m a candle and you’re a flame
its a given its a game
play
maybe there’s a challenge here
giving me the right idea
while you’re making it crystal clear
you’re gonna have to be nice
yeah you might as well be
some things are better left unsaid
maybe there’s a challenge here
I’m saying it loud and clear
I’ve been playing with ideas
you’re gonna have to be nice
yeah you’re gonna have to be nice
you’re gonna have to be nice
yeah you might as well be
