Clumsy

Throw away the radio suitcase that keeps you awake
hide the telephone, the telephone, the telephone in case,
you realize that sometimes you're not okay
you level off, you level off, you level off but it's not all right now
you need to understand there's nothing strange about this
you need to know your friends, you need to know that
I'll be waving my hand watching you drown
watching you scream quiet or loud

And maybe you should sleep
and maybe you just need
a friend as clumsy as you've been
there's no one laughing
you will be safe in here
you will be safe in here

Throw away this very old shoelace that tripped you again
try and shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off it's only skin now
you need to understand there's nothing fake about this
you need to let me in I'm watching you
I'll be waving my hand watching you drown
watching you scream no ones around

And maybe you should sleep
and maybe you just need
a friend as clumsy as you've been
there's no one laughing
you will be safe in here
you will be safe in here

I'll be waving my hand watching you drown,
watching you scream quiet or loud

And maybe you should sleep
and maybe you just need
a friend as clumsy as you've been
there's no one laughing
you will be safe in here
you will be safe in here
you will be safe in here
in here
in here
in here
in here
in here
in here
