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
I don't know how to say this
The only thing I know is awkward silence
Your eyelids close when you're around me
To shut me out

So I'll go walking through 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
I don't know how to say this
The 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
When I can forget you and me
And get a decent night's sleep

Well here I am
I don't know how to say this
The only thing I know is awkward silence
Your eyelids close when you're around me
To shut me out

Don't shut me out
