Face Value
Is it safe to take your words in as they are?
Will my mind shut up so I can just relax?
Can I fight the urge to count and qualify our tracks?
I just wanna walk for a while
Is it safe to savor every single moment?
My mind and heart, they both say safety first
But I'm wonderin' now, which poison would be worse
I just wanna let myself smile
Can I take your face value at face value?
And what would take my mind off all the fear?
Promise you don't hate me and I'll promise you the same
Even then I know I'd wonder if I'm in the clear
It's odd, at times I think I feel your mind
(sure they flutter)
That's not to say that you're an open book
(there're things they wonder)
But with other people the simple feeling's hard to find
(but still)
That you're as real as I
Maybe that's what life is supposed to feel like
(butterflies once violent)
Wish it could be this way with everyone I meet
(go absolutely silent)
Do you ever feel like you're in someone else's story
(stuck)
Stuck in a screenplay beat?
Can I take your face value at face value?
And what would take my mind off all the fear?
Promise you don't hate me and I'll promise you the same
Even then I know I'd wonder if I'm in the clear
Is the answer in your eyes?
Is it worth the stupid stewing?
Is screwing up all that I'm doing?
I know the answer's no
(I know the answer's no)
Not sure why it feels so easy
My suspicion makes me queasy
Won't let my mind turn friend to foe
I'd like to take your face value at face value
So what would take my mind off all the fear?
Promise you don't hate me and I'll promise you the same
Even then I know I'd wonder if I'm in the clear
Am I in the clear?
I'd like to take your face value at face value
So what would take my mind off all the fear?
Promise you don't hate me and I'll promise you the same
Even then I know I'd wonder if I'm in the clear
Are we in the clear?
Will my mind shut up so I can just relax?
Can I fight the urge to count and qualify our tracks?
I just wanna walk for a while
Is it safe to savor every single moment?
My mind and heart, they both say safety first
But I'm wonderin' now, which poison would be worse
I just wanna let myself smile
Can I take your face value at face value?
And what would take my mind off all the fear?
Promise you don't hate me and I'll promise you the same
Even then I know I'd wonder if I'm in the clear
It's odd, at times I think I feel your mind

That's not to say that you're an open book

Even then I know I'd wonder if I'm in the clear
Are we in the clear?
