Eyes drift off to someplace else... I can tell you're talking to your ghosts again.. From the way you half-smile to yourself.. [Pre-Chorus] I don't wanna pull you too hard, I don't wanna break that spell, But you're a million miles away from here, And I just wanna know you well... [Chorus] Penny for those pretty little thoughts? Spinning in your quiet Crowded head... Tell me what you're hiding in the dark.. All the words you almost said... I don't need them polished Tied in knots, Give me every tangled Tender thread, Penny for those pretty little thoughts? Share the ones you never meant to spread... [Verse 2] You say “sorry, I was somewhere else”, Laugh it off and change the tune, But your fingers tap that same old tale, On the table, In the afternoon... [Pre-Chorus] You say “it's nothing I'm just tired” But I can hear the pages turn You're a book I keep re-reading Still so much I wanna learn [Chorus] Penny for those pretty little thoughts Spinning in your quiet Crowded head Tell me what you're hiding in the dark All the words you almost said I don't need them polished Tied in knots Give me every tangled Tender thread Penny for those pretty little thoughts Share the ones you never meant to spread. [Bridge] We could sit here saying nothing, Let the silence do its dance (oh), Or you could let one secret slip, Give my clumsy heart a chance... [Chorus] Penny for those pretty little thoughts Spinning in your quiet Crowded head Tell me what you're hiding in the dark All the words you almost said I don't need them perfect Just honest Every cracked and crooked edge Penny for those pretty little thoughts I'll pay more than you ever guessed Penny for those pretty little thoughts... Penny for those pretty little thoughts...
