[Verse 1]
Take too long, and you'll never have a place to stay
See you around, but I know what you're trying to say
And now, I wonder how I let myself down
'Cause you found a better way to spend the time of day

[Chorus]
Around you (Can't think of the words to say)
Around you (I stumble and I run away)
Around you (I can't think of the words to say)
Around you (I begin to sweat and shake)

[Verse 2]
And now, my head is screwed the wrong way around
But I've found, I wouldn't have it any other way
Was I wrong, 'cause I never had a price to pay?
Until now, be careful who you hurt today
And now, I try to find the words to match the sound
'Cause I've found that every other one's a throw-away

[Chorus]
Around you (Can't think of the words to say)
Around you (I stumble and I run away)
Around you (I can't think of the words to say)
Around you (But I begin to sweat and shake)
[Outro]
And now, I'll end it with another old cliché
'Cause I've found, I wouldn't have it any other way
