[Verse 1: Lou Barlow]
It was never my intention to blindly feed the boy-girl game
I know romance isn't everything, but I'm obsessing just the same
[Verse 2: Lou Barlow]
Because today, I don't feel worthy, you seem so beautiful and strong
These unsure hands could never soothe you, too afraid of doing something wrong
[Refrain: Lou Barlow]
And this confusion wears me down
Until I feel like a nervous stranger
And could I help you grow?
I guess we'll never know
[Verse 3: Lou Barlow]
Set up for the let-down, but these things happen all the time
And I'm not longing to explore it again, I'm too scared of what you'll find
[Refrain: Lou Barlow]
And this confusion wears me down
But I'll smile when I'm with you
'Cause there's so much we could do
Together or alone
I'm not afraid of being alone
