You've got me backed into the corner of this crowded kitchen
Your hands behind me on the counter our blue eyes shifting
Back and forth between each others, insect in my stomach flutters.

You've got a certain way of smiling, and I wish you'd stop it.
Our conversation's unexciting, I forgot the topic
'Cause I'm so distracted by the movement of your lips.


So pull me in as close as possible but make the distance

Just so far that when you cut the rope I fall just hard enough

To learn my lesson in the end, and I'll keep climbing trying to reach you
Until someone else pulls me in again.


Every so often I walk past you, act like I don't notice
Trying to find myself distractions for my eyes to focus
Blocking out our past encounters, your persistence overpowers.

And it's not like this hasn't happened with the one before you,
But he was mean, and he's an $$# and I cannot ignore the fact
That I was happier than ever when you.


[Chorus]


I think I want to be an idiot tonight
Cause I am finding it so difficult to fight
The urge to break the walls that you put up that night

But I know that you won't let me,
You're just trying to protect me
'Cause you're really good at acting like you care.


[Chorus]
