Lyrics Nervous - Pears

Nervous

Here’s a tale: When I was six
And militantly innocent
They didn’t think I’d handle it too well
Turns out they were on the nose
About a toddler’s mortal woes
'Cause all we do is decompose and smell
Please give me time
Nervous, still kinda nervous
Still kinda nervous, still kinda scared to die
Nervous, still kinda nervous
Still kinda nervous
Still kinda clinging to days gone by
Must’ve cried a Waterpark
And that’s just stabbing in the dark
They gave up and they dropped me off at home
It’s then I knew that on the Earth
We’re disconnected after birth
And handled my mortality alone
Please give me space
My sensibilities have been replaced
With guilt and lack of grace
I need more time
My conscience is uniquely unaligned
I am the bottom line
What’s the worst that could happen?
Playing thirty odd years, pretend
I don’t wanna be angry
I just wanna feel open again
I don’t wanna be angry
I just wanna feel open again
I don’t wanna be angry
But I’ll never feel open again
