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
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

i'm posting on yet ANOTHER std song...i can't get enough of them :-P. hehehe. i love how his voice sounds in this song tho....especially the chorus. "don't know how to say this..." he has an awesome voice and this song definetly shows this. the lyrics, however do relate to how (i think) everyone feels at one point or another. awkward silence is something you can't avoid no matter how hard you try. :)
