Jimmy Eat World
Dizzy
You close your eyes, then kiss your hand
And blow it, but it wasn't meant for me
And I notice if the choice was ours alone
Then why did we both choose letting go?
Does it end like this?
Time never had a chance to heal your heart just a number,
Always counting down to a new start.
If you always knew the truth
Then the world would spend around you
Are you dizzy yet?
Respectfully, some honestly,
I'm calling out
Do you hear this conversation we talk about?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house,
If there's half a chance in this moment,
When your eyes meet mine
We show it all,
Not talk a lot
to think we were living dreams
Shame never crept close to our naked feet
If there's something left to lose then don't let me wear my shoes
I'm still walking.
I tried, but it rang and rang
I called all night from a payphone (remember those!)
from another life.
If everything I ever meant to you
You can lick and seal,
then fold in two.
Then I've been so blind.
Respectfully, some honestly,
I'm calling out
Do you hear this conversation we talk about?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house,
If there's half a chance in this moment,
When your eyes meet mine
We show it,
take it all back
take the first,
your last
your only,
take it all back
Everything you showed me
This must be how it feels
When the feeling goes
I told you as I hovered
I'd never felt this way
You said:
I had the shot that stops my clock,
Baby it's okay
You said you'd never have regrets
Jesus!
Is there someone yet who got that wish?
Did you get yours, babe?
Respectfully, some honestly,
I'm calling out
Do you hear this conversation we talk about?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house,
If there's half a chance in this moment,
When your eyes meet mine
We show it all.
