Lyrics for The Exploding Boy

I couldn't hear a word you said I couldn't hear at all You talked until your tongue fell out And then you talked some more I knew if I turned Knew if I turned I'd turn away from you And I couldn't look back And I couldn't look back Tell yourself, we'll start again Tell yourself, it's not the end Tell yourself, it couldn't happen Not this way Not today Not today I couldn't hear a word you said I couldn't hear at all You talked until your tongue fell out And then you talked some more I knew if I turned Knew if I turned I'd turn away from you And I couldn't look back And I couldn't look back Tell yourself, we'll start again Tell yourself, it's not the end Tell yourself, it couldn't happen Not this way Not today Not today Not today Not today
