lyrics

I always said I would never ever let myself feel this way
I always said I would look away, let it pass by day by day
(x2)

And then she walked in
Un invited
I tried to lock my door.
But she was already in
In the door and in my head
And now I just want more
(x2)

So this doesn't usually happen
you can see it's kinda weird
I got a shot of anxiety
Runnin ear to ear

But it's also a smile
That's runnin that way
I want to fight it bad
But I couldn't make my case

She stared right into my eyes
She seemed unimpressed
Until she could see my heart
Beaton through my chest

And my cover is blown
just like that
I guess I shoulda froze
Maybe fake a heart attack.

If it were that easy,
It wouldn't have a word
It wouldn't be a myth
And it wouldn't ever hurt

But it does and it will
And it won't be easy
I can't tell if I'm happy
Sad or just queasy

And that's what it does,
Relentless in that way
Should I stay in my seat
Or should I pace

And after all
It still could a crock
But it doesn't change the fact
That my door is unlocked.

I always said I would never ever let myself feel this way
I always said I would look away, let it pass by day by day
(x2)

And then she walked in
Un invited
I tried to lock my door.
But she was already in
In the door and in my head
And now I just want more
(x2)
