Name: These Walls Have Ears
Duration: P00H02M34S
Description: Casual but "meaningful" relationship facades don't work especially when your spirit's not in it and you definitely shouldn't kiss the one you don't want in front of the one you really do. And all this star-crossed business is very very difficult to communicate in code when your parent's are listening in from the staircase wall.

about

Casual but "meaningful" relationship facades don't work especially when your spirit's not in it and you definitely shouldn't kiss the one you don't want in front of the one you really do. And all this star-crossed business is very very difficult to communicate in code when your parent's are listening in from the staircase wall.

lyrics

There's always someone listening in,
These walls have ears, connected to your phone,
Oh now sweet thing, you should really stop your dreaming,
Just close, your ears, I'd like to, well...

HONEY I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU BUT YOU KNOW I CAN'T
Honey I'd really like to ...no no no....

When I compare the two of you
Then well, that's life, isn't it... funny?
These Walls are all I do,
It's time, get dressed...
I'll see you NEXT SUMMER!!!!
