Lyrics
I saw a movie on my birthday
I watched a movie on my birthday
And in the crowd i would sink into my seat
In the crowd, I felt the need to withdraw and hide in my seat
I was so mad it was my birthday
I felt angry that it was my birthday
You always end up comparing company
Comparing the people around, as one often does in social situations
Those are my words I'm taking them back
I regret what I said and want to retract it
For an instant to bend and rearrange
Momentarily altering and reorganizing my thoughts
Those are my words I'm taking them back
I regret what I said and want to retract it
You know I want to hear about it
Expressing a desire to hear about a situation
I wanna sit in silence
Desire to sit in silence
I wanna dance around it
Wishing to avoid addressing a topic directly
'Cause we are different people
Acknowledging differences between individuals
I'm not suggesting it's a contest
Clarifying that there's no intention of making it a competition
Or asking for an upset
Not seeking to cause disturbance or unsettle
I just need some time alone
Expressing a need for solitude
You put your hand on the seat with me
A physical interaction, possibly comforting or connecting
Your fingers crawl through my smokescreen
Your influence penetrates my defenses or illusions
I grip them way too tight
Clutching tightly, perhaps out of fear or insecurity
I saw the whitecaps flood into your knuckles and I
Observing a physical reaction, possibly tension or stress
Got beet-red
Turning red in embarrassment or discomfort
Slumped my back again
Drooping posture, a physical manifestation of emotional state
I started running and almost reached the end
Attempting to escape but not reaching the goal
You know I want to hear about it
Expressing a desire to hear about a situation
I wanna sit in silence
Desire to sit in silence
I wanna dance around it
Wishing to avoid addressing a topic directly
'Cause we are different people
Acknowledging differences between individuals
I'm not suggesting it's a contest
Clarifying that there's no intention of making it a competition
Or asking for an upset
Not seeking to cause disturbance or unsettle
I just need some time alone
Expressing a need for solitude
