I was shaking like a leaf I was clenching my fists I was losing my mind, yeah I was dancing with death When I stood in my front yard Felt the sun on my face It just felt like a rerun Holding everything in place
For a moment I was not lost I was waiting for permission to take off
When we were new to each other In the city after dark You were so condescending You wrote me in, gave me a part See, I always gravitate toward Those who are unimpressed I saw you as a big fish I saw you as a conquest
And I know for you it's easy to walk away You would never ask permission or rue the day
I was out of my body Reciting lines of remorse I was losing my mind, yeah I was halfway out the door
