I didn't look left

Didn't see that car comin' 'til my life was flashin' before

My two eyes

But you pulled me back

Back to the curb when you joked that the Reaper should find

Someone his own size

I'm scared of fire, scared of guns

Scared of dying, isn't everyone?

Scared of spiders and the IRS

But nothing is as scary as the scared I get

Without you

I saw a cockroach

And I lay awake until four in the morning and hoped

He'd crawl out on his own

And the coyote

At the top of the stairs, she is waiting for my eyes to close

She's coming for my throat

I'm scared of fire, scared of guns

Scared of dying, isn't everyone?

Scared of spiders and the IRS

But nothing is as scary as the scared I get

Without you

It's the great height that I'm falling from

It's the great white that I'm hiding from

It's the stage fright that I'm dying from

Without you

It's the viper that's biting me

It's the tumor inside of me

It's the dark thoughts in spite of me

Without you

I'm scared of fire, scared of guns

Scared of dying, isn't everyone?

Scared of spiders and the IRS

But nothing is as scary as the scared I get

Without you
