I wasn't starting yet I didn't even think you were listening I wasn't ready at all To say anything about anything interesting It's a thing you have You just don't know that you do it You wait around in a conversation While I get in and start stumbling through itI was so distracted then I didn't have it straight in my head I didn't have my face on yet or the role or the feel Of where I was going with it all I was suffering more than I let on The tropic morning news was on There's nothing stopping me now From saying all the painful parts out loudGot to my feet Feeling that I'd let you down Wanted to say it slow and perfect But it all somehow got switched around Something went off on its own My dumb, automatic chit-chat It's not what I meant to say at all There's no way you can attach me to thatGot up to seize the day With my head in my hands feeling strange When all my thinking got mangled And I caught myself talking myself off the ceiling I was suffering more than I let on The tropic morning news was on There's nothing stopping me now From saying all the painful parts out loudOh, where are all the moments we'd have? Oh, where's the brain we shared? Something somehow has you rapidly improving Oh, what happened to the wavelength we were on? Oh, where's the gravity gone? Something somehow has you rapidly improvingYou found the ache in my argument You couldn't wait to get out of it You found the slush in my sentiment You made it sound so intelligent You can stop and start an athlete's heart How do I feel about it? I would love to have nothing to do with it I would like to move on and be through with itI'll be over here lying near the ocean Making ocean sounds Let me know if you can come over And work the controls for a whileI was so distracted then I didn't have it straight in my head I didn't have my face on yet or the role or the feel Of where I was going with it all I was suffering more than I let on The tropic morning news was on There's nothing stopping me now From saying all the painful parts out loudOh, where are all the moments we'd have? Oh, where's the brain we shared? Something somehow has you rapidly improving Oh, what happened to the wavelength we were on? Oh, where's the gravity gone? Something somehow has you rapidly improving
