nervous & weird

Lyrics

you know i want to be the way you want me to, big hearted and tall enough to cover you, i would break in half if you said it loud, splinter out of myself just like mercury, i think it's better now than how it used to be, you were lying in bed and i would levitate, i think it's better here than where we used to be, i wish i could go out into the oregon sun: to be alive in the day, i'd smile at everyone, i remember you back in '83, you were dressing insane, you were my everything, you were so different from all those other girls, a blind electra in drag, so cool and casually lame, i think i'm better now than how i used to be, always nervous and weird, scared most of the time, i think it's better now than how it used to be, always up in the night, afraid to live in the day, afraid of being afraid, now i sit alone when you're not around, i read aloud just to hear a friendly voice, i see you scary dolls, they all look at me, from the corner of my eye i see them shake their heads, you know i want to be the way you me to, big hearted and tall enough to cover you, i wish i could go out just to be alive in the day
