about

This is about a girl who was too young. We made a sweet video for it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6MN-5iEoxg

lyrics

I do confess that I licked your lips
While you were sleeping on my shoulder that night
There was a spell caught in that kiss
I’m the apple that you never should bite

And now you’re lost in the dream
Of a love I knew was doomed from the start
And your prince will never find you
If I can quiet down my beating heart

So I whisper, I whisper
Because I never wanna wake you up
And I whisper, I whisper
Because I never wanna wake you up

And all the fairies in the forest
Go running at the sight of my face
How they adore you, so sorry for you
Still sleeping in my silent embrace

And when I leave you, just for an hour
I scream until I lose my voice
Oh I would leave you, if I’d the power
But my love you know you’ve left me no choice

But to whisper, oh to whisper
Because I never wanna wake you up
And I whisper, I whisper
Because I never wanna wake you up

And in this quiet, I hear my conscience
Saying “Boy, you let that poor child be”
Oh delicious self-deception
I whisper so I don’t have to scream

I whisper, I whisper
Because I never wanna wake you up
I whisper, I whisper
Because I never wanna wake you up

I whisper, I whisper
Because I never wanna wake you up
I whisper, I whisper
Because I never wanna wake you up

Shh…
