The Tension And The Terror - Straylight Run

All the boys, voices cracking

Oh, the moaning half tones

Come summertime, we’re all the same age here

All the tension and the terror

Thin limbed, gorgeous green eyes smiling

And I’m going straight to hell

All the possibility and promise just weighs on me so heavily

And I try but I’m not convincing

Your lips, they pout and twist

And I die trying just to keep myself from kissing you

You take in everything with a certainty I envy

It’s somehow all I need

Just keep me guessing, please

Darling, all of these awkwardjumpstartstalling conversations

Mean much more to me than anything

It comes down to me and you

And whether we’re supposed to or not, we still will

We’re so much better off than them

All the possibility and promise just weighs on me so heavily

And I try but I’m not convincing

Your lips, they pout and twist

And I die trying just to keep myself from kissing you

You take in everything with a certainty I envy

It’s somehow all I need

Just keep me guessing, please

A look

A laugh

A smile

A second passes by and I regret it

Words just aren’t right

Sometimes I just can’t explain

All the ways you devastate me

Always on my mind

I try but I’m not convincing

Your lips, they pout and twist

And I die trying just to keep myself from kissing you

You take in everything with a certainty I envy

It’s somehow all I need

Just keep me guessing…

I try but I’m not convincing

Your lips, they pout and twist

And I die trying just to keep myself from kissing you

You take in everything with a certainty I envy

It’s somehow all I need

Just keep me guessing, please
