Voices Carry Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the dark I'd like to read his mind
But I'm frightened of the things I might find
Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
To tear him away
When I tell him that I'm falling in love
Why does he say

[Chorus]
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Uh-ah

[Verse 2]
I try so hard not to get upset
Because I know all the trouble I'll get
Oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
And something to fear
And I try so hard to keep it inside
So no one can hear

[Chorus]
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Uh-ah
[Bridge]
Oh!
He wants me, but only part of the time
He wants me, if he can keep me in line

[Chorus]
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, shut up now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, darling, she might overhear
Hush, hush, voices carry
He said shut up, he said shut up
Oh God can't you keep it down
Voices carry
Oh God, keep it down
Oh God, voices carry
Hush hush, voices carry

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Sky Ferreira’s “Voices Carry” is a cover of Til Tuesday’s new wave classic of the same name. Ferreira has performed the song live since 2017; she began to tease a proper recording of the song in the summer of 2018 via her Instagram account by posting snippets of it in her stories.

On July 31, 2018 she finally released the song–which she labeled as an “Infant Demo,” noting that it wasn’t mixed and lacked synth and additional guitars–through her relaunched SoundCloud account.
