lyrics

The present lasts too long, but
The future is always too near,
Soaking my relationships in
Clouds of all-consuming fear

Give me fifteen minutes’ notice
Before you try anything nice
Mark down make outs in the diary
I don’t like to be surprised

A party’s being planned for me
Outside my periphery
My friends are all behind my back
Planning their surprise attack

You ask “can I ask you something?”
What, “why can’t I just grow up”?
Saying you need to tell me something
Enough to make me wanna throw up

You allude to the smallest secret
A chill runs up my spine like ice
No presence/presents in my love language
I don’t like to be surprised

Something’s being planned for me
Outside my periphery
My friends are all behind my back
Planning their surprise attack
Planning their surprise attack

I get nervous, I feel strange
I promise, love, it isn’t you
I’m sorry, I’ve wrecked the moment
And made myself look the fool
Oh don’t hold me so tight
Can’t we do this another night?

I get scared, I get sick
I feel weak, I cannot eat
I’m sorry, I think I’m special
But I’d be normal in a heartbeat
I’ve gone quick, I’ll be back
They won’t notice me have my own attack

Something’s being planned for me
Outside my periphery
My friends are all behind my back
Planning their surprise attack
Planning their surprise attack
