What are you gonna say
When she picks up the phone
Should you leave a message
When's she not at home
Wanted to know if you'd like
To see a movie or get a drink
It'd be cool just to be in your company
And if she says yes
What might my intentions be
Take this to another phase of chemistry
You gotta lie
You have to tell the truth
You have to explain why this could
Never because

There are things
That cannot be undone
There are mistakes
That will never be forgiven
Sometimes at night
I pray to wake
A different person
In a different place

Maybe we could just be friends
I'm being a bit presumptuous
The stomach churns
The mind starts to race
You notice we start to exaggerate
Well I just wanna be on your way in
God I wanna be healthy
I don't want this problem
Or you wouldn't think
Something like irresponsibility
Would complicate something like
Asking for some company

But there are things
You must accept as said and done
There are truths
You must learn to conform
You can pray all night and day
You'll always make the mistake
In the same place

Drunk mouth ruined it again
Sometimes I say the dumbest things
All but baby it's you specifically
It could be anybody
I gotta get this stuck in my head
Now it's already over
Before it's even started

    Laura has said specifically that it's about wanting someone's company but being afraid they'll reject you if you reveal who you really are.

    No AIDS or any other STDs like that. It was a reference to her dysphoria. Her words, not mine.
