Lyrics
Don't give me the moth eyes
Feeling uncomfortable with intense, pleading gazes
And leave a packet of self-service
Asking for a favor without expecting personal service
In the lobby of my building
Placing a request in a public space, perhaps metaphorically
Cause I'm not freaking out
Remaining composed despite external appearances
I just need a hovering tablet next to your head
Desiring a distraction or comfort in the form of a screen
Streaming closed captions
Describing a surreal scene with technology involved
I'm going to throw you out the bad question if you ever heard one
Expressing a readiness to dismiss a poorly framed question
And you'll say, please, good face
Anticipating a plea for understanding with a positive expression
Don't catch me again on such bad day
Requesting not to be confronted during a difficult day
What an exciting desire
Expressing enthusiasm for an unconventional desire
To want to be found hiding
Expressing a desire to be discovered while hiding
Pain shopping on an empty stomach
Engaging in negative behaviors while emotionally vulnerable
I get anxious like snails
Comparing anxiety to the slow, cautious nature of snails
Just by the way
Highlighting the cause of anxiety as something mundane
Growing my wonderful home
Symbolizing personal growth as the creation of a home
I'm going to throw you out the bad question if you ever heard one
Reiterating a willingness to dismiss poorly framed questions
And you'll say, please, good face
Expecting a positive response to a request for understanding
Don't catch me again on such bad day
Asking not to be confronted on a challenging day
Or just don't catch me again
Preferring not to be confronted again in a vulnerable state
