I was gonna spell it out
In detail but
I dropped the call
Before I spilled my guts
The floor stayed clean
Like my conscience would be
'Cause if you heard anything
You didn't hear it from me
I'm sweeping up the seconds
That tick off the clock
Save them all for later
When I'm too ticked to talk
And I need some time
To search my mind
To locate the words
That seem so hard to find
And sometimes I say things that
I wish that I could take back
The most crucial thing I lack is the thing called "tact"
And if you're always so intently listening
Then the smartest thing to say
Is to tell myself not to say a thing
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet
Don't let it all come undone
'Cause if I dare open my mouth
It'll just be to bite my tongue
To bit my tongue
I said I'm always close-minded
With an open mouth
And the worst of me
Seems to come right out
But I've never broken bones
With a stone or a stick
But I've conjured up a phrase
That can cut to the quick
And sometimes I say things that
I wish that I could take back
And the smartest thing to say
Is to tell myself to keep
Quiet quiet
Don't let it all come undone
'Cause if I dare open my mouth
It'll just be to bite my tongue
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet
Listen to your voice
Because the power of your words
Can repair all that I destroyed
And when I finally do
Let it come from you
The peace of understanding grips my soul
You're the reason I
Have meaning in this life
Is so I swallow all my pride
And give you control
I give it all to you
And I gotta keep quiet quiet
Don't let it all come undone
'Cause if I dare open my mouth
It'll just be to bite my tongue
I gotta keep quiet quiet
Listen to your voice
Because the power of your words
Can repair all that I destroyed
And I gotta keep quiet quiet
Don't let it all come undone
'Cause if I dare open my mouth
It'll just be to bite my tongue
Bite my tongue

Review about Bite My Tongue luv this song!! | Reviewer: nutmeg | 12/10/2007
i luv reliant k and they're songs are completely awesome. it totally tells u that these people luv God and are true Christans. Thanx for all ur doing for Him!! it really does make a difference in the lives of others.
Kudos to Matt and the rest of his crew. Musically and lyrically this song is one of the tightest packages they've pulled together. How many times have we all teetered on the edge of saying something that just pretty much falls under the category of 'devastating'?
The songs ambiguity doesn't leave much wriggle room, but my interpretation fits my mentality--So many times i have wanted to throw back my head and scream to everyone the way i really feel, but i always swallow hard and just stuff it under the bed.
Wooo, hoorah Matt. I've heard this song live, too, and they play it mean.

This song reminds me of things I do all the time. The chorus is good advice. I need to remember it more.
