The Tension And The Terror
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.
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
Jump start, stalling conversations
Mean much more to me than anything
And 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
