Something Happens
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I get jumpy
Wanna step on the gas
Drive right out of
This place fast
She says, "Red light
I'll take those keys"
Out of my mind and
On my knees
[Chorus:]
Something happens
And I don't know why
I can't seem to get my future
Out of her eyes
Something happens
And never for sure
If I could name this sickness
I'd be cured
I'd be cured
She's long distance
And it's a grind
Always static
On that line
Tear the phone out
From the wall
But in my head I
Get that call
[Chorus]
She don't wanna talk
She don't wanna talk to me
She just wanna look
She just wanna look through me
It's a famine
Or it's a feast
Who's that beauty
Who's that beast
Threatening murder
Or happiness
And if I do it
Will I confess
[Chorus]
