Kevin Devine - People Are So FickleLyrics

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 when we were out on the date When we 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 I woke in a shock My nails digging blood from the base of my palms It's just that people are so fickle They fall in love at different angles And really I could lose you Just as quickly as I've gotten you And that's the kinda thought That makes me nervous I'm 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 what I can to believe it So baby all these 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 To the pleasant and painless Some story to tell With a through line of calm That could stop me from being myself Cause all I think is how I want to be your fever Just to know I make you heated Cause I'm worried you might see me more like a blanket Who's there for comfort and for cover From the glare of former lovers All the 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 be 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 Maybe if I wake up and quit dreaming I could shake the shit I'm fearing And I could feel like I'm just freaking out For no good reason I'll tell you what It's a line I can cross once I get there I'm not ever leaving
