People Are so Fickle Songtext

von Kevin Devine

Oh baby, baby please
I feel an urgent to need to apologize
I did a terrible thing in a terrible dream
And now I can't look you in the eyes

It started:
We were out a date
And turned to say,
"i gotta tell you something odd
I know I said we'd get married
But i'm already married"
And that's when you laughed so hard

So I turned and swung
Woke up in a shock
Nails digging blood from the base ob my palms

Because people are so fickle
They fall in love at different angles
So really I could lose you just as quickly as i've gotten you
And that's the kind of thought that makes me nervous
And worried if you really think i'm worth it
When the rush wears off and you're left with this busted person
But if you tell me you will I will do what I can to believe it

So baby all zthe things that i've seen
Last night while asleep
This morning, they're messing with me
And now i'm anxious as hell
And looking for help
Something pleasant and painless
Some story to tell
With a throughline of calm
That could stop me from being myself

'cause all I think I how I wanna be your fever
Just t know I make you heated
'cause I worry you might see me more like a blanket
Who's there for comfort and for cover
Rfom the glare of former lovers
All that passion that kissed you and bit you 'til you were devoured
And i'd like to get better 'cause thinking like this is torture

And if I can't stop it you'll get sick of bearing crosses
And you'll jump to cut your losses
You'll go get quarantined somewhere far from me
Where it's much less dangerous
But maybe if I wake up and quit dreaming
I can shake the shit i'm fearing
And I can realize i'm just freaking out for no good reason
I'll tell you what:
If that's a line I can cross, once I get there, i'm not ever leaving
