A soft sound To the way she wears her hair down Covering up her face Oh what a let down I don't seem to be having any effect now Falling all over the place But you're losing your words We're speaking in bodies Avoiding me and talking 'bout you But you're losing your turn I guess I'll never learn Cause I stay another hour or two For crying out loud, settle down You know I can't be found with you We get back to my house Your arms, my mouth Now I just stop myself around you A small town Dictating all the people we get around What a familiar face Do you get what I mean now? I'm so fixated on the girl with the soft sound And hair all over the place But you're sure that I'd learn I'm pushing through bodies Avoiding me and walking around you But you're cold and I burn I guess I'll never learn Cause I stay another hour or two For crying out loud, settle down! You know I can't be found with you We get back to my house Your arms, my mouth Now I just stop myself around you A soft sound To the way she wears her hair down Covering up her face Oh what a let down, I don't seem to be having any effect now Falling all over the place But you're losing your words We're speaking in bodies Avoiding me and talking 'bout you But you're losing your turn I guess I'll never learn Cause I stay another hour or two For crying out loud, settle down! You know I can't be found with you We get back to my house Your arms, my mouth Now I just stop myself around you For crying out loud
