Oh, oh, ah, oh
Oh, oh, ah, oh
Oh, oh, ah, oh

I know I annoyed you
I tried to avoid you
Even though we had already locked eyes

Early intervention, a change of direction
Forever between, she'll be feigning surprise

(Oh, ah, oh) (x4)

You went from being dark horse to being a spent force
In the space of what seemed like a day and a night
Heaven forbid, we might have to depend on
The kindness of strangers in the absence of light

I transcended my station
I had notions of being self-made
But I hit a bit of a setback
And it set me back about a decade

If you weren't such a cynic
You might understand this
When I killed you with my kindness
Did I blind you with my blandness?

(Oh, oh, ah, oh) x4

I hate to ignore you
But I worry I'll bore you
A hot flush of anxious
Corrupts everything

Concentric devotion
This circular motion
In the land of right angles, the compass is king

Now that you face me
I bow and I curtsy
You reciprocate
You bow straight and beg mercy

Significant others may dangle in the balance
But I long to (?), before it's a dalliance

I'm going out to meet my closest friends
And that, in theory, should be nice
And though I don't fear anybody
I think I'm terrified of going... (x3)
