Clumsy
Our Lady Peace
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Throw away the radio suitcase That keeps you awake Hide the telephone in case, you realize that sometimes you're not okay You level off but its not all right now You need to understand There's nothing strange about this You need to know your friends I'll be waving my hand watching you drown Watching you scream Quiet or loud Maybe you should sleep Maybe you just need a friend As clumsy as you've been There's no one laughing You will be safe in here Throw away this very old shoelace that tripped you again Try and shrug it off It's only skin now You need to understand There's nothing fake about this You need to let me in I'm watching you
