As I'm talking my words slip to the floor

And they crawl through your legs and slide under the back door

Rendering me freakish and dazed



Well here I am

Don't know how to say this

Only thing I know is awkward silence

Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out



So I'll go walking in the streets until my heels bleed

and I'll sing out my song in case the birds wish to sing along

And I'll dig a tunnel to the center of the universe



Well here I am

Don't know how to say this

Only thing I know is awkward silence

Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out



I'll make my way across the frozen sea

Beyond the blank horizon

Where I can forget "you and me"

And get a decent night's sleep.



Well here I am

Don't know how to say this

Only thing I know is awkward silence

Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out



Don't shut me out



And don't count me out
