I Talk When I'm Nervous
Yearning for Connection: Nervous Confessions and Musical Desire
Lyrics
I talk when I'm nervous
I tend to talk more when I'm feeling nervous.
I drink beer too
I also consume alcohol, specifically beer, when I'm nervous.
But I want to be bold
Despite my nervousness, I aspire to be courageous or daring.
When I'm around you
Especially when I'm in your presence.
You're at the piano
You are playing the piano.
Your guitar's in my hand
I am holding your guitar.
Your smoke billows skyward
Smoke from some source, possibly related to the atmosphere or mood, rises.
Toward the ceiling fan
The smoke ascends toward the ceiling fan.
Oh I want to be beneath you tonight
Expressing a desire to be close or intimate with you tonight.
Please let me be beneath you
Repetition of the desire to be close or beneath you.
Your shag carpet's curling
Describing the condition of a shag carpet between toes, possibly emphasizing sensory experience.
Between my toes
Repetition of the sensory experience while you play.
As you play I keep staring
While you play, my attention is fixed, and my heart responds with both acceleration and deceleration.
My heart quickens and slows
Transition to a moment of silence, characterized as a peculiar and blissful experience.
Then comes the silence
During the silence, a unique serenity or happiness is felt.
A strange kind of bliss
Observing a profound look in your eyes, described as a wilderness, possibly suggesting complexity or depth.
The look in your eyes
Reiteration of the desire to be beneath you tonight.
Is a wilderness
Repetition of the plea to be beneath you, emphasizing the longing for intimacy.
Oh I want to be beneath you tonight
Expressing a strong desire to be close or intimate with you.
Please let me be beneath you
Repetition of the plea for intimacy, emphasizing the intensity of the desire.
Oh I want to be beneath you tonight
Reiteration of the strong desire to be close or beneath you tonight.
Please let me be beneath you
Emphasizing the urgency of the desire to be close or beneath you.
I want to be beneath you
Repetition of the desire to be beneath you, possibly intensifying the emotional plea.
Please let me be with you
Final plea to be with you, indicating a deep longing for connection.
