Lyrics Two Shots of Jealousy - Julian Dawson, The Flood

Two Shots of Jealousy

when a siren goes in the middle of the night
my breathing stops I fumble for the light
my heart is a hammer and my stomach is stone
I’d call for assistance but nobody is home
that’s when I need you and when you’re not there
I have to move but I don’t know where
this world’s not big enough for me to hide
it’s two shots of jealousy and one shot of pride
I admit I suppose I live too much for love
but now at last I’ve found it I can’t give it up
I have too many pictures and too many plans
I just can’t lose you to another man
because I need you but I just don’t know
if I should move — where should I go
it’s a full-time job keeping this hurt inside
it’s two shots of jealousy and one shot of pride
she says more with her hands than I could say in a book
she can capture a heart with a single look
she’s putting on make-up but it’s not for me
and she cries when she tells me she needs to be free
but I need you and I’ll try to be strong
whatever I do it seems to turn out wrong
I can’t shake this feeling heaven knows I’ve tried
it’s two shots of jealousy and one shot of pride
I didn’t want trouble don’t want your sympathy
I want to believe all the promises you made to me
my heart is a hammer and my stomach is stone
I’d call for assistance but nobody is home
that’s why I need you and when you’re not there
I’m bound to move but I don’t know where
this world’s not big enough for me to hide
with two shots of jealousy and one shot of pride
