The Chills

Blue October · Any Man in America [2011]

Take my hand

Maybe we should run away

Maybe we should disappear

Leave everything behind



Like the useless things

Boxes labeled memories

With sudden health emergencies

We can leave those things behind



Show me,

Show me arms that reach for all we can be

Through understanding, try forgiveness

I face the past,

It's what I witness



Why do I only feel the chills when I'm with you?

I only hear your words that you say are true

But you keep thinking it over, thinking it over

You could catch me if you wanted to



Now why you gotta say good bye

When you know you could've come with me....

No! Can't afford to leave and stay

(I can't afford it)

We're gonna have to just build one way

(Look , I can't afford it)



So tell me, tell me all the things

You told me we could be

Through understanding, tried forgiveness

I faced the facts,

It's what I witnessed



Why do I only feel the chills when I'm with you

I only hear your words that you say are true

But you keep thinking it over, thinking it over

Catch me if you want



I only feel the chills when I'm with you

I feel the sun,

I feel the sun

C-catch me, c-c-catch me



Why does a heart always have to break?

(When you're trying way too hard)

Have to break?

(Yeah she'll see right through you)

Have to break

(All communication, and the conversation, it breaks down)

Now there'll be nothing to talk about

Absolutely nothing... just blah-blah-blah



Why do I only feel the chills when I'm with you?

I only hear the words that you say are true

But you keep thinking it over, thinking it over

You could catch me if you wanted to.



C-catch me, c-c-catch me
