Kevin Devine - People Are So Fickle Lyrics
Oh baby, baby pleaseI feel an urgent need to apologizeI did a terrible thing in a terrible dreamAnd now I can't look you in the eyeIt started:We were out on a dateAnd you turned to say,"I gotta tell you something oddI know I said we'd get marriedBut I'm already married"And that's when you laughed so hardSo I turned and swungWoke up in a shockNails digging blood from the base of my palmsBecause people are so fickleThey fall in love at different anglesSo really I could lose you just as quickly as I've gotten youAnd that's the kind of thought that makes me nervousAnd worried if you'll really think I'm worth itWhen the rush wears off and you're left with this busted personBut if you tell me you will I will do wht I can to believe itSo baby all the things that I've seenLast night while asleepThis morning, they're messing with meAnd now I'm anxious as hellAnd looking for helpSomething pleasant and painlessSome story to tellWith a throughline of calmThat could stop me from being myself'Cause all I think is how I wanna be your feverJust to know I make you heated'Cause I worry you might see me more like a blanketWho's there for comfort and for coverFrom the glare of former loversAll that passion that kissed you and bit you 'til you were devouredAnd I'd like to get better 'cause thinking like this is tortureAnd if I can't stop it you'll get sick of bearing crossesAnd you'll jump to cut your lossesYou'll go get quarantined somewhere far from meWhere it's much less dangerousBut maybe if I wake up and quit dreamingI can shake and shit I'm fearingAnd I can realize I'm just freaking out for no good reasonI'll tell you what:If that's a line I can cross, once I get there, I'm not ever leaving
