I don’t like novocaine 
I want to be afraid someday
To face the crowd with open eyes
To take my chances on the fly 
The house you’re building on the shore 
Is beautiful but insecure 
Still? if you feel at home then know 
If you stay then I can’t go 

I don’t like novocaine 
I don’t want to quash the pain to start a game and play it safe and win it with a sense of shame 
The house you’re building on the rocks is beautiful but tends to fall 
Still if you feel at home just know 
If you stay then I can’t go
