Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone
A little more stupid a little more scared
Every minute more unprepared
I made a mistake in my life today
Everything I love gets lost in drawers
I wanna start over I wanna be winning
Way out of sync from the beginning
I wanna hurry home to you
Put on a slow dumb show for you and crack you up
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God I'm very very frightening I'll overdo it
Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
And not thinking of my dick
My leg is sparkles my leg is pins
I better get my shit together better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
From one side of it to the other
I wanna hurry home to you
Put on a slow dumb show for you and crack you up
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God I'm very very frightening I'll overdo it
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for for 29 years
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for for 29 years
