Pretty Nerves

from No Right Thing by Continental Shelf

lyrics

don't wanna be someone who calms your pretty nerves love
i'm only so much and it's less than you deserve love
i'm not equipped and i don't want to lead you on

like when you're hovered in the kitchen when it's light out
you're heavy searching for another but i'm gone now
a thousand arguments play out behind my eyes

you wring your weathered hands and i don’t move mine

as if there were another lesson we could learn here
the moments over and the moral yet is unclear
for what it's worth you always leave me feeling floored (let’s hold out)

so maybe we could last a month if we're not too loud
and then another week if we can keep our voices down
make a decision when we both can find the words

trying to write the kind of future that concerns you
but you’re in bed until someone else overturns you
feels like i haven’t seen you leave your room in weeks

can’t take another day if you won’t say a word now
when i get home you’re steady staring at the door now
so i give up and take a breath and go to sleep

you run yourself around and i don’t move

(you wring your weathered hands and i don’t move mine)

could never be the one to calm your pretty nerves love
i'm only so much and it's less than you deserve love
i'm not equipped and i don't wanna leave you torn

(you run yourself around and i don’t move)

so when you're hovered in the kitchen in the low light
won’t see me searching for another for a long time
for what it’s worth you always leave me feeling floored
