I can t stand up straight, but I m no slouch
I just can t get off of this couch
To start a conversation with you
In my imagination we re through
Way before we start, I m made of tin
And, I don t have the spine or heart
To bravely go where this man can t go
I heat up like a burning candle
BRIDGE
All my friends just laugh
They don t understand
They think that it s an act
It happens all the time
They ask me what it s like
To live without a spine
It s paralyzing fear
That isn t in my mind
Really
CHORUS
What you think is a lack of confidence
Is nothing like that
I m being honest
It s the bones in my back
They disappear
But, only when you re in the room
Or at least
That s what I ve come to assume
(1st Verse Chords)
Time goes by, I d say about a week
And Ive been fine to think and speak
But, then I see you at the door
I feel my body hit the floor
Stuck here once again with no support
I try to move, but I fall short
I m lucky that this sofa held me
Cause all my limbs have turned to jelly
(Repeat Bridge)
(Repeat Chorus x2)
(At the second repeat of the chorus)
Or at least
That s what I ve come to assume
And the smell of your perfume
It happens when you re in the room
