Theory of Emotion - Del Water Gap

Hey, when she looks sad

I get horribly nostalgic for the times we had

Throwing plates, surprise attack

Yeah we fought like we were acting in an improv class

But through it all we still managed to laugh

Do you take me as I am?

Cause I’ll take you as I am

And I don’t take things lightly

And I feel nothing mostly all the time

Am I dead behind the eyes from loving you too tightly?

That reminds me

Of a poster I saw hanging at the dentist

I was late for my appointment

But the lady at the desk was awfully patient

She said, «honey won’t you sit across from me?

Pour yourself a coffee, choose a magazine.»

Do you take me as I am?

Cause I’ll take you as I am

And I don’t take things lightly

And I feel nothing mostly all the time

Am I dead behind the eyes from loving you too tightly?

Do you take me as I am?

Cause I’ll take you as I am

And I don’t take things lightly

And I feel nothing mostly all the time

Am I dead behind the eyes from loving you too tightly?

Too tightly?
