lyrics

There’s something bout the way I feel
When I am near you
Like I need to prove myself
And you don’t need to
In my mind you feel steady
Confident, assured
In my mind you’re already
Infamous and visible

Ahhh it’s hard
To break
The ice
When I’ve
Decided
You’re
Too high

If we had met on the porch
One summer night
I invited you in to have a bite
You and my roommate are friends
From fiddle camp
By the stove your reputation
Isn’t relevant

But instead I’m standing here
Merch-side post-show
At the front of line
I let you know
We have a few mutual friends
I drove an hour to the show
I’m begging you to validate
My personhood and I feel naked

Ohh it’s hard
To break
The ice
When I’ve
Decided
You’re
Too high

I heard you’re shy
I don’t need to
feel sad; you are
Not above me
You’re just weird in
social situations
‘Cause you’re
always in your head
I am projecting on you
That you are too
proud to see me
I gave you some
Power o’r me
And I want to
Have it back

Ohh it’s hard
To break
The ice
When I’ve
Decided
You’re
Too high
