[Verse 1]

A soft sound

Into the way that she wears her hair down

Covering up her face

And oh, what a letdown

And I don't seem to be having any effect now

Falling all over the place


[Pre-Chorus]

But you're losing your words

We're speaking in bodies

Avoiding me and talking 'bout you

And you're losing your turn

I guess I'll never learn

'Cause I stay another hour or two


[Chorus]

For crying out loud, settle down

You know I can't be found with you

We get back to my house

Your hands, my mouth

Now I just stop myself around you


[Verse 2]

A small town

Dictating all the people we get around

What a familiar face

Do you get what I mean now?

I'm so fixated on the girl with the soft sound

And hair all over the place


[Pre-Chorus]

And you're sure that I'd learn

I'm pushing through bodies

Avoiding me and walking 'round you

And you're cold and I burn

I guess I'll never learn

'Cause I stay another hour or two


[Chorus]

For crying out loud, settle down

You know I can't be found with you, you

And we get back to my house

Your hands, my mouth

Now I just stop myself around you

(Hey)


[Instrumental Interlude]


[Bridge]

A soft sound

Into the way that she wears her hair down

Covering up her face

And oh, what a letdown, down

I don't seem to be having any effect now

Falling all over the place


[Pre-Chorus]

And you're losing your words

We're speaking in bodies

Avoiding me and talking 'bout you

And you're losing your turn

I guess I'll never learn

'Cause I stay another hour or two


[Chorus]

For crying out loud, settle down

You know I can't be found with you, you

We get back to my house

Your hands, my mouth

Now I just stop myself around you, 'round you

For crying out loud
