Lyrics

Here in the studio,
As they’re turning down the lights,
I lick my lips to start the first line
How can this girl be me?
“Oh, little thing, are you looking lost?”
The vertigo, the need to lose

They try to trip me up and tapes begin to spin
I feel a little sick and hope my notes are in
I try to put it all in, do it for you
Don’t even know you but I need you to love me, too

They try to trip me up and tapes begin to spin
I feel a little sick and hope my notes are in
I try to put it all in, do it for you
Don’t even know you but I need you to love me, too

Scares me silly, but it gets me going
Like a Romeo
Scares me silly, but it gets me going
Like a Romeo
Scares me silly, but it gets me going

Swimming amid the cans
I wonder can I goad myself into another take,
And keep the mood?
It’s like a film – such balanc
I close my eyes to the cello solo, and ache
The music will never let me blow away

You know the feeling when you’re on the right track
You fall in love and you’re never gonna turn it back
It’s recording you, they’re so sensitive
Oozing without me, spilling over with secrets

You know the feeling when you’re on the right track
You fall in love and you’re never gonna turn it back.
It’s recording you, they’re so sensitive.
Oozing without me, spilling over with secrets.

Scares me silly, but it gets me going
Like a Romeo
Scares me silly, but it gets me going
Like a Romeo
Scares me silly, but it gets me going
