These Stones Will Shout

Album: Consolers Of The Lonely (2008)

  • Well you impress me so completely
    I start obsessing to hear from you
    Whatever you do, you do sweetly
    It takes a lot to not take from you

    You're not secure enough to tell me
    Your first impression of all these clowns
    So you'll be tricky enough to compel me
    To take the lead and to speak out loud, yeah

    [Chorus]
    Speak to me and don't speak softly
    Talk to me and let me know
    Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me
    Grab hold and do not let go

    Grab hold and do not let go

    And if you find yourself repeating
    Some of those incoherent sounds
    Just talking to yourself is cheating
    You might as well stick your head in the ground, yeah

    [Chorus]

    Grab hold and do not let go

    I feel compelled to just yell out for you
    To say the words that you can't bring out
    But I cannot do everything for you
    And if I don't then these stones will shout
    Yeah, if I don't then these stones will shout
    Well, if I don't then these stones will shout

    So if I were to just lay here silent
    And see if you would take control
    The stones below me and may be compiling
    And they would wrestle me, pester me, mess with me, just trying to free your soul

    [Chorus: x2]

    Grab hold and do not let go
    Grab hold and do not let go
    Grab hold and do not let go Writer/s: BRENDAN BENSON, JACK WHITE
