Trembling knees
I always dream about a deadly earthquake
That shakes the state
Smoke and flames
Always make it oh so hard to speak and see
I can't escape

Wait for me
I'm so afraid
But you always seem so secure
And oh so sure
I'm so sorry
But everything I keep close to me runs away
It's such a shame

I'll hide amongst the trees
And breathes so quietly
Until the sun comes out
Until the morning comes
So many things scare me
Like when shadows dance amongst the trees

I've got the skin and bones to stand
And say so many things to you.
Oh but I lack the guts to hold my weight
And keep my blood so calm, so calm

Trembling knees
I always dream about a deadly earthquake
That shakes the state
Smoke and flames
Always make it oh so hard to speak and see
I can't escape

I'll hide amongst the trees
And breathe so quietly until the sun comes out
I'll hide amongst the trees
And breathes so quietly
Until the sun comes out
Until the morning comes
So many things scare me
Like when shadows dance amongst the trees

Until the morning comes

And when the ground all breaks
I'll just run away
I'm sorry I still haven't changed

I'll trade my veins for your nerves
Maybe then I'll stay calm

Wait for me
I'm so afraid
But you always seem so secure
And oh so sure
I'm so sorry
But everything I keep close to me runs away
It's such a shame

Trembling knees
I always dream about a deadly earthquake
That shakes the state
Smoke and flames
Always make it oh so hard to speak and see
I can't escape
