Oh baby, baby please

I feel an urgent need to apologize

I did a terrible thing in a terrible dream

And now I can't look you in the eye



It started:

We were out on a date

And you turned to say,

"I gotta tell you something odd

I know I said we'd get married

But I'm already married"

And that's when you laughed so hard



So I turned and swung

Woke up in a shock

Nails digging blood from the base of my palms



Because people are so fickle

They fall in love at different angles

So really I could lose you just as quickly as I've gotten you

And that's the kind of thought that makes me nervous

And worried if you'll really think I'm worth it

When the rush wears off and you're left with this busted person

But if you tell me you will I will do wht I can to believe it



So baby all the things that I've seen

Last night while asleep

This morning, they're messing with me

And now I'm anxious as hell

And looking for help

Something pleasant and painless

Some story to tell

With a throughline of calm

That could stop me from being myself



'Cause all I think is how I wanna be your fever

Just to know I make you heated

'Cause I worry you might see me more like a blanket

Who's there for comfort and for cover

From the glare of former lovers

All that passion that kissed you and bit you 'til you were devoured

And I'd like to get better 'cause thinking like this is torture



And if I can't stop it you'll get sick of bearing crosses

And you'll jump to cut your losses

You'll go get quarantined somewhere far from me

Where it's much less dangerous

But maybe if I wake up and quit dreaming

I can shake and shit I'm fearing

And I can realize I'm just freaking out for no good reason

I'll tell you what:

If that's a line I can cross, once I get there, I'm not ever leaving
