Speak Then React

[Verse 1:]
I’m not afraid of dying
But I fear the way you look at me
There’s a devil that lives inside of me
And he tells me that I may just be
Unsatisfactory to you
This is nothing new
It’s been going on for months
And every time we get close enough
It seems I don’t come off strong enough
Then you slip away again
Like an ambulance on its way to a crash

[Verse 2:]
If you can take my word for it
I swear that I can demonstrate
A perfect form of comfort and excitement
You can sink your pretty teeth into
You can sink your perfect teeth into

[Verse 3:]
A song with no form
Feelings with no logic
It’s what we’ve become
It’s who we are today
I don’t know how it started
Or why or when or how or who
But I’m glad that it’s something
Even if it’s just a friendship in bloom
It’s clear in present view
That I’m still a fool for you

[Verse 4:]
Meet me at the station
But don’t forget your ticket
I’m an advocate for travel
But I don’t think that anyone should ever travel alone
It’s just not the same
If you can find your destination
Before I do
Then I will envy you and write to you and pray for you
And I will wait by the phone and check my mail twice a day
At least
One of these days you’re gonna find your ground
And you will think of me and smile
And remember our conversations until 3, or 4, or 5 AM

[Verse 5:]
I’m still convinced if we give this a shot
You can lower your guard long enough
For me to enter the walls around your feelings
I can devise a plan that leads straight to your heart
And please don’t judge me by the things that I say
Or by the hours that I keep
Or by the people I spend my time with
I’ve never been good with numbers and structure
But I have a sound mind
And I have the ability to do anything and I’m using it

[Bridge:]
I’m not sure what happened today
But I hope I can make it to tomorrow
I’m unsure about a lot of things
But I hope that it doesn’t get in the way of what you think about me
‘Cause I swear it doesn’t affect the way I feel for you

[Verse 6:]
I do what I have to do
There’s a world inside of you
If you can commit yourself to something for a moment or a second
In my book that’s better than to have never committed to anything at all
This is more of the same thing, the dialogue repeats itself over and over and over again
