It's another perfect day
She stops a blind man and she asks him for directions
The she walks the other way
I know when I see her face
Here's such a lonely place for her
She can't help but end up lost before she starts
She's got a nervous heart

On the way down from desire to isolation
I pass her on the street
She seems to know me but I sense her hesitation
And mistake it for conceit
Oh we can build these walls
Why can't we make them fall
Maybe we just don't know where to start
She's got a nervous heart

Ooh, she could do what she wants with mine
Ooh, she's as sweet as turpentine

Watching you walk away
I felt like I feel today
And once again I know that ordinary sadness
That keeps us all apart
She's got a nervous heart
It's just a nervous heart
