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 Oh, 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 breathe 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 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 Until the morning comes So many things scare me Like when shadows dance amongst the trees 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 strong Wait for me I'm so afraid But you always seem so secure Oh, 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
