Something hardened you

Hit a nerve and went right through

And you can’t believe you’re still here standing

Because I was bitching at my friend

Come on man where have you been

Then he told me about the wave

That just came out of nowhere

And I can’t even speak

It’s that rapacious sympathy

‘Cause I just want to wrap my arms around you for good

And say nothing is going to get you now

I’ve got you shamelessly

And that’s all I ever want to say to you

Just to try to take a little fear away

Here’s to the year we cried

Shocked speechless but still alive

Waging war with whoever’s in the bathroom mirror

‘Cause it’s just me vs me

And my fear of loss and brevity

And my childish jealousy

Of somebody who I used to be

And I can’t even speak

It’s just my blatant sensitivity

‘Cause I just want to wrap my arms around you for good

And say nothing is going to get you now

I’ve got you shamelessly

And that’s all I ever want to say to you

Just to try to take a little fear away
