The Exploding Boy

I couldn't hear a word you said

I couldn't hear at all

You talked until your tongue fell out

And then you talked some more

I knew if I turned

Knew if I turned

I'd turn away from you

And I couldn't look back

And I couldn't look back

Tell yourself we'll start again

Tell yourself it's not the end

Tell yourself it couldn't happen

Not this way

Not today

Not today

Hold up, help

I couldn't hear a word you said

I couldn't hear at all

You talked until your tongue fell out

And then you talked some more

I knew if I turned

Knew if I turned

I'd turn away from you

And I couldn't look back

And I couldn't look back

Tell yourself we'll start again

Tell yourself it's not the end

Tell yourself it couldn't happen

Not this way

Not today

Not today

Hold up, hold on

Not today

Head up

Not today
