Nobody Needs to Know Lyrics by Jeremy Jordan

The Last Five Years (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

2015

[JAMIE]
Hey, kid—good morning—
You look like an angel
I don't remember when we fell asleep
We should get up, kid—
Cathy is waiting…
Look at us, lying here
Dreaming, pretending
I made a promise and I took a vow
I wrote a story
And we changed the ending—
Cathy, just look at me now!
Hold on, facts are facts—
Just relax, lay low
All right, the panic recedes:
Nobody needs to know
Put on my armor—
I'm off to Ohio
Back into battle 'til I don't know when
Swearing to her that I
Never was with you
And praying I'll hold you again
Hold on, clip these wings—
Things get out of hand
All right, it's over, it's done—
No one will understand
No one will understand…
We build a treehouse
I keep it from shaking—
Little more glue every time that it breaks
Perfectly balanced
And then I start making
Conscious, deliberate mistakes
All that I ask for
Is one little corner—
One private room at the back of my heart
Tell her I found one
She sends out battalions
To claim it and blow it apart
I grip and she grips
And faster we're sliding
Sliding and spilling, and what can I do?
Come back to bed, kid—
Take me inside you—
I promise I won't lie to you
Hold on, don't cry yet—
I won't let you go
All right—the panic recedes
All right—everyone bleeds
All right—I get what I need
And nobody needs
To know
Nobody needs to know…
And since I have to be in love with someone
Since I need to be in love with someone
Maybe I could be in love with someone
Like you…
