The Tension And The Terror

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

Jumpstart, 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...
