[Verse 1]
Pack your bag in the dark
Don’t wake the frame on the wall
Footsteps soft on the hall
You know they hear when you call
Leave the keys by the jar
Leave the door on the latch
If they ask where we are
Say we never came back
[Pre-Chorus]
Run while the night still breathes
Run while the dogs don’t sing
Keep your eyes on me
Don’t let the branch break clean
[Chorus]
Make it out before the howling moon
Make it out before it finds us too
I’ll keep the secret
I’ll keep the secret
Forever to the grave it goes
Make it out before the howling moon
Hands held tight till the morning blue
I’ll keep the secret
I’ll keep the secret
Forever to the grave it goes
[Verse 2]
There’s a ring in the sink
There’s a name on the note
Best burn every trace
Let the cold wind tote
I won’t blink, I won’t fold
I won’t speak what I heard
If the world comes to blow
Still you get my word
[Pre-Chorus]
Run while the night still breathes
Run while the dogs don’t sing
Keep your eyes on me
Don’t let the branch break clean
[Chorus]
Make it out before the howling moon
Make it out before it finds us too
I’ll keep the secret
I’ll keep the secret
Forever to the grave it goes
Make it out before the howling moon
Hands held tight till the morning blue
I’ll keep the secret
I’ll keep the secret
Forever to the grave it goes
[Bridge]
If they dig in the ash
If they turn every stone
I’ll wear silence like skin
I’ll take it home
And if my name slips out
Let it die in the snow
What we buried tonight
Only I will know
[Chorus]
Make it out before the howling moon
Make it out before it finds us too
I’ll keep the secret
I’ll keep the secret
Forever to the grave it goes
Make it out before the howling moon
Hands held tight till the morning blue
I’ll keep the secret
I’ll keep the secret
Forever to the grave it goes
