The Awkward Pause

It was all going okay

But now you don't know what to say

'Cause you thought that you were

Being clever

But you came off just as dumb as ever.

You should just run for the door

You've played out this scene before

And you're stuck in a slew of hems and haws.

It's so awkward...

This awkward pause...

Would gladly eat a plate of glass

If it would make this moment pass.

Would rather skydive with no parachute

Get caught solicitinga prostitute

Better to bump into an ex

Or crash your car into a tree

See your parents having sex

Or catch a mild STD

Things that normally are paralyzing

Compared to this, they all

Seem appetizing

'Cause you're stuck in the agonizing claws

Of the awkward...

The awkward pause.
