lyrics

I was too busy being hard on myself in the easy ways
You were too pretty to look me in the face
Catch your eye with a song and a dance and it’s obvious
Do me a favor let your blood rush so your cheeks blush
Keep your little heart in a box with a lock maybe my key fits
Give it one more shot on you before it shatters into bits
But I got a pocket full of changes and wisdom and scars by now
Oh the shame I'm still the same somehow

There went my ears
Chasing after what they wanna hear
There goes my head
Filling up with gold-painted lead

Surprise, surprise
Can't even look in your eyes when I say "I love you" too soon
But I saw it in a movie and the screen lit up the room
And I know, I know I got a spring in my step when I walk alone
And my toes all move in sync when my brain don't think
Maybe that's the trick

Act like your jaded kiss won't clash with me and my Capra ideals
I'm setting sparks off with a match give you a little somethin’ to feel
I cannot let things take their course stutter out some words I wrote down
I'm setting sparks off with a torch burn you and me to the ground
There's fear and shaking underneath what everybody thinks that they want
So I'm setting sparks off with my teeth
Love's just a call and response
