Something Happens - John Hiatt

I get jumpy

Wanna step on the gas

Drive right out of

This place fast

She says, «Red light

I’ll take those keys»

Out of my mind and

On my knees

Something happens

And I don’t know why

I can’t seem to get my future

Out of her eyes

Something happens

And never for sure

If I could name this sickness

I’d be cured

I’d be cured

She’s long distance

And it’s a grind

Always static

On that line

Tear the phone out

From the wall

But in my head I

Get that call

Something happens

And I don’t know why

I can’t seem to get my future

Out of her eyes

Something happens

And never for sure

If I could name this sickness

I’d be cured

I’d be cured

She don’t wanna talk

She don’t wanna talk to me

She just wanna look

She just wanna look through me

It’s a famine

Or it’s a feast

Who’s that beauty

Who’s that beast

Threatening murder

Or happiness

And if I do it

Will I confess

Something happens

And I don’t know why

I can’t seem to get my future

Out of her eyes

Something happens

And never for sure

If I could name this sickness

I’d be cured

I’d be cured
