when I'm with you I don't know why
I'm so insecure
like I'm back at school
eyes on the floor

turning every word to powder
looking for a clue
what you're thinking when I talk to you

you don't say anything
you turn the screw
I lose sleep wondering
it's all I ever do

you came out of a cloud
like you do it everyday
you cut down the crowd
like a gamma ray

flooding deep into the marrow
yes it's that severe
and though it's obvious
I'm close to tears, here

you don't say anything
you turn the screw
hung over wondering
it's all I ever do

in your eyes
i see no deception
if that was all it took
i wouldn't mind
but tell me why
