[Verse 1]
My body is buzzing with the weight of the road
And I can't give you anything, my eyes are closed
'Cause I can't bear to see another tree
Fly past the window
[Verse 2]
My mixed-up mind has a list of victims
Do you know when I need
To be coddled like a child
And when I need to be ignored?
[Verse 3]
We could do better
Than this cheap motel
But somehow here
I feel the most like myself
[Chorus]
My fingertips
Are strangers on your face
You ask what is the matter
I can't say it
I can't say it
I can't say it
[Verse 4]
It is neither quick
Nor does it come as a surprise
Love is something you realize
And it goes on thick and vulnerable as ice
[Verse 5]
It's been called a fire
So you go on and tend it
With the restraint of a choir
You feed and fan it
Don't get too comfortable
[Verse 6]
It is tough, babe
To want so much, babe
Can't say still, son, can't stay gone, love
Is my home in me, is my home you?
[Chorus]
My fingertips
Are strangers on your face
You ask what is the matter
I can't say it
I can't say it
I can't say it
