I was shaking like a leaf

I was clenching my fists

I was losing my mind yeah

I was dancing with the death

When I stood in my front yard

Felt the sun on my face

It just felt like a rerun

Holding everything in place

For a moment I was not lost

I was waiting for permission to take off

When we were new to each other

In the city after dark

You were so condescending

You wrote me in gave me a part

See I always gravite toward

Those who are unimpressed

I saw you as a big fish

I saw you as a conquest

And I know for you it's easy to walk away

You would never ask permission or rue the day

I was out of my body

Reciting lines of remorse

I was losing my mind yeah

I was halfway out the door
