Tear up a napkin till your coffee comes

Just like when you were a kid

How it calmed you down but far too embarrassed to do it when anyone was around

Said it was the way you were dressed

It made you feel like an idiot

Shuffle your hands under the faucet

Not really washing them

Make sure there's no witnesses to see your nervous habits

All your habits

Made you feel weak and stupid

A collection of habits

Push your eggs around the plate

Not really eating them

Try not to be too obvious about your nervous habits

You mumbled under your breath

How nothing holds your attention anymore

Ask for the check as soon as possible

Don't really want to be here

Meet me halfway across the table with the blank stare

Said maybe it's just the season

That makes you remember it

The faded lines on your wrist

That made you think of it

But oh you remember it
