[Verse 1]

No one means what they say

And you can tell as clear as deep-sea fish

All internal organs and glowing eyes

I’ve been good, I’ve been busy

I’ve realized my friends' true intentions, cut all ties

Been doing ten thousand push-ups a day

Plastic cube filled with pus

That sits atop my supervisor’s desk

The feeling of ice on the inside of the wrist

Always tired, need a nap

I have to make myself brush my teeth

I’ve made a list of everything I’ve ever owned


[Chorus]

When the days bring nothing new

And the sound of laughter makes you sick and snide

You know you’ve got

You've got the jitters


[Verse 2]

Nothing’s wrong, I’m just fine

I’ve realized I just don’t like jokes

I’m thinking of moving, I can’t call anyone back

You can tell every time they lean away

When you just want to talk

You couldn’t buy their interest now

Stolen cars in a heap

A naked body on the neighbor’s yard


[Chorus]

When they let you down on cue

When you give up way before you even try

You know you’ve got

You’ve got the jitters


[Outro]

They glow as they near

Then disappear like highway signs on a starless night

And it’s so hard to say who’s being fled

And who’s in flight
