Lyrics[]
I listened in
Yes, I'm guilty of this
You should know this
I broke down and wrote you back
Before you had a chance to
Forget, forgotten
I am moving past this
Giving notice
I have to go
Yes I know the feeling
Know you're leaving
Calm down, I'm calling you to say
I'm capsized
Erring on the edge of safe
Calm down, I'm calling back to say
I'm home now
And coming around
I'm coming around
Well, nobody likes to
But I really like to cry
Nobody likes me
Maybe if I cry
Spelled out your name and list the reasons
Faint of heart
Don't call me back
I imagine you
And I was distant, not insistent
I followed suit
And laid out on my back
Imagine that
A million hours left to think of you
And think of that
Calm down, I'm calling you to say
I'm capsized
Erring on the edge of safe
Calm down, I'm calling back to say
I'm home now
And coming around
I'm coming around
Well, nobody likes to
But I really like to cry
Well, nobody likes me
Maybe if I cry
Encircle me
I need to be taken down
Encircle me
I need to be taken down
Encircle me
I need to be taken down
Encircle me
I need to be taken down
Well, nobody likes to
But I really like to cry
Well, nobody likes me
Maybe if I cry
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Encircle me
I need to be taken down
Encircle me
I need to be taken down
Encircle me
I need to be taken down
Encircle me
I need to be taken down
