lyrics

I Don't know what to do
With my hands when I talk to you
So instead of trying
At the BBQ
I'd rather hide in the dining room
But I know you see me when I'm waving at the pool
And I don't blame you
For not waving too
Maybe I waved
At someone who's behind you
I'm not surprised to see your car outside the bar
It's 'cause I've never seen you
Parallel park
With no help
From anyone else

Now what do I do
Do with my hands when I see you?
With these hands that I abused
The nails I bit and chewed,
How I chewed down to the roots
And dug a well I fell right into
All the roots I tried to remove,
Too tangled to break loose
With nails too dull and knots I can't undo?

I could say anything with my hands when I talk to you
I could be straight up lying
Or telling the truth
No gesture I make
Or wave
Will get through
So now what do I do?

With these hands that I abused
To hide the nails I bit and chewed,
How I chewed down to the roots
And dug a well I fell right into
All the roots I try to remove,
I can't untangle, or cut through
All the knots I can't untie at BBQs

So if you see me when I'm waving at the pool
I don't blame you
For not waving too
Maybe you
Didn't know what to do
