The Tension And The Terror lyrics

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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus x2]
