Ray Childish - Encounter lyrics

rate me

don't dare to look up

I don't dare to look you in the face

I'm searching for something to rest my eyes on

Some resting spot in the space

I can't swallow the lump that's in my throat

The words I'd like to speak, they seem so remote

The only thing I'm able to do

Is to pet the dog

Chorus (repeat 2x):

I can't figure out myself

I can't figure out myself

I can't figure out myself

I can't figure out myself

I'd love to talk to you, but I can't find my voice

The conversation's running in my head

In an imaginary voice

I work up all my courage and ask you for a walk

But you, you say, you'd better go

Chorus (repeat 2x)
