The Tension and the Terror

Lyrics

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 awkward-jumpstart-stalling 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
