the tension and the terror

all the boys voices cracking

oh

the moaning half tones

come summer time

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

oh darling all of these awkward jump-start-stalling conversations

mean much more to me than anything

so it comes down to me and you and

whether were 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.
