DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL LYRICS - Thick As Thieves

"Thick As Thieves"



Would it kill you to breath easy

Only seventeen miles lay between you and me

I could make it if I had to

I don’t break easily

You’ve got my counsel thick as thieves

If there’s a crime, we’ll keep it secret

For there’s only trace amounts left in your blood



You may be a sinner, but you may be justified



Just keep your mouth shut

Keep your guard up

I swear I’ll make it right



Will it kill me to breath

Not as easy as you think it is

Between you and me

I could fake it if I have to

I don’t break easily

I need your counsel thick as thieves

I have no crime to keep a secret

It was hers it was not mine



Well I may be a sinner, but it wasn’t me this time



Just keep your mouth shut

Keep your guard up

I swear I’ll make it right



Well listen to yourself

There is a hemorrhage in your mouth

It won’t stop bleeding



Well, you may be the traitor

I will hold the smoking gun

You’ll get away clean

I’ll keep your secrets

Till the grave has swallowed me

And I will never tell a tortured soul

That are burning by my side

That I am a sinner, I am a savior, I am alive



So keep your mouth shut

Keep your guard up

I swear I’ll make it right
