I can’t handle your casual cool
I can’t handle the way you’re thinking
Oh, the time it takes me to drink those thoughts away
I walked alone from the Golden Gate and watched the rich people in the bay
Just dreaming of a time when I could relax
But it’s a mistake for me to say that I will always feel this way
Give it a rest, just walk away
And I’ll hope you’re not thinking what I’m thinking if you’re thinking about it at all
I can’t handle that casual face staring at me so flat and calm
It’s a ticking bomb
It’s as if you’ve come undone
I walked alone through the Stockton tunnel heading somewhere that isn’t quite my home
My heart’s not where it used to be
But I’m just talking to hear myself think that I’m having a good time now
I can clearly see I don’t know what’s in front of me
