Trembling knees
 
 I always dream about a deadly earthquake
 
 That shakes the state
 
 Smoke and flames
 
 Always make it oh so hard to speak and see
 
 I can't escape
 
  
  Wait for me
 
 I'm so afraid
 
 But you always seem so secure
 
 And oh so sure
 
 I'm so sorry
 
 But everything I keep close to me runs away
 
 It's such a shame
  
 
 I'll hide amongst the trees
 
 And breathe so quietly
 
 Until the sun comes out
 
 Until the morning comes
 
 So many things scare me
 
 Like when shadows dance amongst the trees
  
 
 I've got the skin and bones to stand
 
 And say so many things to you.
 
 Oh but I lack the guts to hold my weight
 
 And keep my blood so calm, so calm
  
 
 Trembling knees
 
 I always dream about a deadly earthquake
 
 That shakes the state
 
 Smoke and flames
 
 Always make it oh so hard to speak and see
 
 I can't escape
  
 
 I'll hide amongst the trees
 
 And breathe so quietly
 
 until the sun comes out
 
 Until the morning comes
 
 So many things scare me
 
 Like when shadows dance amongst the trees
  
 
 And when the ground all breaks
 
 I'll just run away
 
 I'm sorry I still haven't changed
  
 
 I'll trade my veins for your nerves
 
 Maybe then I'll stay calm
  
 
 Wait for me
 
 I'm so afraid
 
 But you always seem so secure
 
 And oh so sure
 
 I'm so sorry
 
 But everything I keep close to me runs away
 
 It's such a shame
  
 
 Trembling knees
 
 I always dream about a deadly earthquake
 
 That shakes the state
 
 Smoke and flames
 
 Always make it oh so hard to speak and see
 
 I can't escape
