Well I've been closed off and bummed for months
And held cold hands with folks I don't talk to much
Then I got invited by some friend
In some big room, with people that I don't know yet
I was scared and hesitant at first
I walked in, saw your face and that made it worse
But your charm began to cool me down
I love you, wanna know ya, but I'm heading out
Could a change extend this high
Was feeling fine
With design, could I prevent hurt further
If I told myself that I "deserve" her
What a shame it is to let you by
You'd think that feeling's numb, it happens all the time
Ooo yeah
Ooo
Could a change extend this high
Was feeling fine
With design, could I prevent hurt further
If I told myself that I "deserve" her
'Cause it's a cruel state
State of mind
It's a tactic that I formed myself
To safely close me off and defend myself
And it works sometimes, to stay removed
But hurts most times, to touch and never introduce
Yeah could a change extend this high
Was feeling fine
With design, could I prevent hurt further
If I told myself that I just "deserve" her
Ooo
