Lyrics
I only do these things to freak you out
I engage in certain behaviors to surprise or unsettle you
I never wanted you to doubt me
I never intended for you to question my sincerity
I believe you, do I believe you
Expressing uncertainty about believing you
I try to block you out to hear myself
I try to ignore you to focus on my own thoughts
I can't believe I'm thinking to myself
Surprised at my own thoughts or actions
Would I leave you, in such suspense
Questioning the possibility of leaving you in suspense
I let it go and go and go
I let things go on without addressing them
But what you're thinking through the silence
Trying to understand your thoughts through the silence
I really wish you understood
Wishing for better understanding from you
A couple of words get so much mileage
Noting the impact a few words can have
I never felt an urge to say a word
Never felt the need to speak
I'd rather listen to the din of
Prefer the background noise of others over talking
Other people closing in one me, I lay in bed
Feeling surrounded by people while in bed
And think of words that you should hear
Thinking of words that I want you to hear
I fall asleep and then they disappear
Words disappear from my mind as I fall asleep
A fall from grace, from memory
Experiencing a loss of dignity and memory
I hear a voice inside the silence
Hearing a voice within the silence
Speak your peace and all's forgotten
Expressing the idea that speaking resolves issues
I hear the static on the line
Static on the line signifies communication issues
Remember how this all got started
Recalling the beginning of the current situation
Remember, remember, it's tilted
Emphasizing the tilted nature of the situation
I turn away a minute disappears
Avoidance leads to the disappearance of time
I turn away in shame when I don't hear
Shame associated with not hearing something important
What you're thinking, tell me what you're thinking
Seeking understanding of your thoughts
You take it out on me
Feeling the impact of your emotions on me
You're not flaking out on me, are you
Concerned about you withdrawing or avoiding
Turn it tilted, hey wait a minute
Turning the situation into a tilted state
I never wanted you to be upset
Not wanting you to be distressed
But I can see you're trying to forget
Observing your attempt to forget something said
What was said, what was said
Highlighting the importance of the spoken words
Don't try to hang me up again
Advising against causing further problems
Don't try to hang up on me wait up
Warning against hanging up abruptly
Turn it tilted, I need help it's
Reiterating the tilted nature and seeking help
Remember, remember, it's tilted
Re-emphasizing the tilted aspect of the situation
