Step away, step away
If anyone knew where I was going
Who would that be?
Probably me
Back away, back away
I'm just flailing my arms
Don't mind me
Do I look like somebody who's trying to hurt you?
I don't know how to do what you do
I don't know how to walk away with you
Do I look like somebody who knows what they mean?
Is there a way? Is there a way?
To walk up and pick out the right door?
Revisit again, how many mistakes I've been
A tidal wave, a tidal wave
Washed us out and brought me back in
It happened again, it happened again
And I feel so much in a certain way
There's some sin of mine I can't repay
And when I flinch from your touch on my skin
I poison the air, I breath it right in
I feel so much in a certain way
From dusk till dawn and through my tired days
And when I flinch from your touch on my skin
I poison the air, I breath it right in
I feel so much in a certain way
There's some sin of mine I can't repay
So step away, step away
If anyone knew what I was doing
They wouldn't stay
Now name someone I can blame
So back away, back away
I'm just flailing my arms
Don't mind me
Do I look like somebody?
