Lyrics
I've been conniving, devising a plan
To say something brilliant to this girl
Test-driving the words in my head
'Cause I'm all wreck if I don't
'Cause when she talks, suddenly my knees won't bend
Like I'm stuck in quicksand
And it's because the gears that turn my head won't spin
And she slips through my hands
Again and again and again
I love sleeping, 'cause up in my dreams
Then two of us make a good pair
But then waking is a different thing
'Cause I sort of live in a nightmare
When she talks, suddenly my knees won't bend
Like I'm stuck in quicksand
And it's because the gears that turn my head won't spin
And she slips through my hands
Again and again
Yeah, again and again, and again
Why do I get so paralyzed?
I wanna take her by surprise
So I'm conniving rehearsing my lines
She won't get the best of me this time, yeah
