Nervous People

(album: Giant Sings The Blues - 2015)

Here I stand I'm a broken man starting over again
There you are an anxious girl
It's you against the world
But I know you
There you go pop another pill
It's how you get your thrills
We drink until we both go numb
I'm not the only one who knows to not feel anything at all

You told me never change
You said it'd be okay

Run away. I can only keep you safe
I can't seem to give you what you need

You and I go insane for days
We'll never change our ways
Cause you and I are the nervous type
We'll never turn out right
But I only care about you
You're the gun pointed at my chest
Can I count on it?
I'm the place that you fear the most
Won't you please just come back home?
Back where you belong?

You told me never change
You said it'd be okay
Knowing very well you'd leave eventually

Run away. I can only keep you safe
I can't seem to give you what you need
Now past flames engulf your heart and head these days
No one will ever give you what you need

Do you sleep better now
With stronger pills and a stable man?
Does he whisper Catherine in your ear
As you're falling asleep in our bed?
Will you sleep better now?
Cause I don't sleep better now

No one will ever give you what you need
