Shut Up & Deal Don't Ask Don't Tell Lyrics

There’s a desperate desire that circles the room
Consuming the conscience and setting the mood
She’s a girl with a guy; I’m a guy with a girl

Time slows down and hearts beat faster
We’ll create our own disasters
Underneath the sheets of distrust
Neither one of us can ignore this rust

Don’t ask, don’t tell, just keep it all to yourself
And there’s something about those blue eyes
And the sweet, sweet smell of a summer night
It makes me forget whoever it is I should be remembering

A quarter to five and arrogant sunrise burns up the night
We’ll open our eyes to see what we’ve done
And we’ll both run in opposite directions
Avoiding the questions and our own reflections
At least for a week or two Don’t ask, don’t tell, just keep it all to yourself
And there’s something about those blue eyes
And the sweet, sweet smell of a summer night
It makes me forget whoever it is I should be remembering
Remembering now

Time slows down and hearts beat faster
We’ll create our own disasters
Mistakes and Missed opportunities both come with regret
Can you bet which one I’m willing to live with?

Don’t ask, don’t tell, just keep it all to yourself [x2]
And there’s something about those blue eyes
And the sweet, sweet smell of a summer night
It makes me forget whoever it is I should be remembering
I should be remembering now.
