So if I were to just lay in silence
Speak to me and don't speak softly

Just talking to yourself is cheating
The stones below me would make me combat them
But I cannot do everything for you
Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me
And see if you would take control
Grab hold and do not let go
Your first impression of all these clowns

Talk to me and let me know
Grab hold and do not let go
Talk to me and let me know
And if you find yourself repeating
I feel compelled to just yell out for you
Mess with me, just trying to free your soul
Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me
And they would wrestle me, pester me
And grab hold and do not let go
Speak to me and don't speak softly
To say the words that you can't bring out
Whatever you do, you do sweetly
Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me
Talk to me and let me know

So you'll be tricky enough to compel me
Speak to me and don't speak softly
Grab hold and do not let go
Grab hold and do not let go
Speak to me and don't speak softly

Yeah, if I don't then these stones will shout
Grab hold and do not let go
Some of those incoherent sounds
Talk to me and let me know
Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me
Grab hold and do not let go

And if I don't then these stones will shout

You might as well stick your head in the ground, ooh yeah, oh
You're not secure enough to tell me
Grab hold and do not let go

It takes a lot to not take from you
To take the lead and to speak out loud, yeah, ooh yeah
And grab hold and do not let go
Well, if I don't then these stones will shout
