A load of souls on a ball of dirt In a space and time that's arbitrary Trying to figure out what it's worth To find a soul entwined that makes you very Stimulated intellectually with the chemistry Kinda scary when the way you and they feel results could vary I'll play it cool Because the worst that could happen is I act a fool And again it was all just in my head And I should have just kept my mouth shut instead 'Cause I'm a dab hand and getting it wrong Looking back at the years that have come and gone All the way through my entire life Not even for a minute have I got it right Don't go letting me down This time I could drown I'm just imitating Overcompensating I am suffocating From what I'm not saying Mm-mm-mm-mm (I am suffocating from what I'm not saying) I am suffocating From what I'm not saying I do it to myself Can I ever really blame anybody else? When I allow you to set the pace And I keep my mouth shut to save face Even when you shut me down When I try and make a conversation count It's not like you've quite turned me down So something about you makes me stick around I know you can confide in me like you got no one else to talk to I just wish that we could talk about the one thing I want to I think you know that I been distant I think it's pretty funny that you've been resistant When I distance myself 'cause you're fucking with my health By being all up in my business Don't go letting me hang When's it my turn to last I'm facilitating You're being irritating I am suffocating From what I'm not saying Hey-oh (I am suffocating from what I'm not saying) I am suffocating From what I'm not saying Don't go letting me down This time I could drown So we'll drift apart Because things can't stay as the way they are So it's gonna be one or the other But you've got a weird thing with another Who you can't talk to so you just speak to me instead But the emotion you invest is messing with my head For all our similarities we're not the same 'Cause it looks like we want different things And yeah well that's okay I wish that we could have it out And we could draw a line and just get it done But every time I think about it I just flinch and the words don't come You're so fascinating Left me gravitating I am suffocating From what you're not saying Hey-oh (I am suffocating) Oh yeah-eah-eah-eah-oh (from what you're not saying) I am suffocating From what you're not saying It's debilitating Overcompensating I am suffocating From what I'm not saying (hey yeah yeah) Yeah-eah, yeah-eah (I am am suffocating) Ooh-ooh (from what I'm not saying) I am suffocating (hey) From what I'm not saying (ya-ay, ya-ay, ya-ay) I am suffocating From what I'm not saying I am suffocating From what I'm not saying I am suffocating From what I'm not saying
