About

This song has interesting implications. This is a tale of teenage love, but what really sets it apart is that the guilt and fear that comes into it – the fear of going to hell, notably – evokes the possibility that the puppy love described here felt rather “unconventional” for John Nolan, who was ra...

The Tension and the Terror Lyrics

All the boys, voices cracking
Oh, the moaning half tones
Come summertime, we're all the same age here
All the tension and the terror
Thin limbed, gorgeous green eyes smiling
And I'm going straight to hell

All the possibility and promise just weighs on me so heavily
And I try but I'm not convincing
Your lips, they pout and twist
And I die trying just to keep myself from kissing you
You take in everything with a certainty I envy
It's somehow all I need
Just keep me guessing, please

Darling, all of these awkward-jumpstart-stalling conversations
Mean much more to me than anything
It comes down to me and you
And whether we're supposed to or not, we still will
We're so much better off than them

All the possibility and promise just weighs on me so heavily
And I try but I'm not convincing
Your lips, they pout and twist
And I die trying just to keep myself from kissing you
You take in everything with a certainty I envy
It's somehow all I need
Just keep me guessing, please

A look
A laugh
A smile
A second passes by and I regret it
Words just aren't right
Sometimes I just can't explain
All the ways you devastate me
Always on my mind

I try but I'm not convincing
Your lips, they pout and twist
And I die trying just to keep myself from kissing you
You take in everything with a certainty I envy
It's somehow all I need
Just keep me guessing...

I try but I'm not convincing
Your lips, they pout and twist
And I die trying just to keep myself from kissing you
You take in everything with a certainty I envy
It's somehow all I need
Just keep me guessing, please
