Lyrics for The Choke

Don't leave yet It's still early and I haven't even said a word And I'm hoping that I might upset you By saying what I want to Cause it's not like you don't know I've fallen for you But it's in my head and that's where you can't see it And I thought that maybe if I had to Bite the tips of my fingers I could stumble over words And tell you just how far Before I hit the ground And I'm the type to think of all the wrong things to say And I will shut myself up And I'll never come out- I'll close all my doors and only show you the black spots Where my eyes once were- I can say this- I can say this- I can Say this- I can collect myself deep down And then come out punching I can collect myself down And then come out punching And I'll scream out loud
