[Verse 1]
I was shakin' like a leaf
I was clenchin' my fists
I was losin' my mind, yeah
I was dancin' with death
When I stood in my front yard
Felt the sun on my face
It just felt like a rerun
Holding everything in place
Ooh
[Refrain 1]
For a moment, I was not lost
I was waiting for permission to take off
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
We were new to each other
In the city after dark
You were so condescending
You wrote me in, gave me a part
See, I always gravitate toward
Those who are unimpressed
I saw you as a big fish
I saw you as a conquest
[Refrain 2]
And I know for you, it's easy to walk away
You would never ask permission or rue the day
[Chorus]
I was out of my body
Reciting lines of remorse
I was losin' my mind, yeah
I was halfway out the door
I was out of my body
Reciting lines of remorse
I was losin' my mind, yeah
I was halfway out the door
I was out of my body
Reciting lines of remorse
I was losin' my mind, yeah
I was halfway out the door
I was out of my body
Reciting lines of remorse
I was losin' my mind, yeah
I was halfway out the door
I was halfway out the door, ooh
