[Verse 1]
I stand and sigh just for a second, one second
Is all I need
Take in the silence for a second, one second
Is all I need
I'm ready

[Chorus 1]
I'll go face Sharon in the crowd
She's got on her most garish blouse
A most bibulous and foolish night it was
And I'm painfully aware of my flaws

[Verse 2]
I'll do my whole spiel for a minute, one minute
Is all I need
She'll pause and frown at me for a minute, one minute
Is all I need
To know

[Chorus 2]
That I'm choosing the wrong words
To make my case for my foolishness
But to guess is the only way to go through life
And there's no way to get it right every time
