Lyrics Out Loud - Phöenix Lazare

I'm not sure just what it is about him
That makes my hair stand on end
Maybe it's the way his eyes light up just at the sound
Of his mother's name

He says he's quitting smoking
But we both know he's lying to himself
So he laughs and starts choking
Coughs and stomps the cigarette out

And I wonder to myself
But I'm just too scared to say it
Out Loud

I'm not sure just what it is about him
That makes me sink into the ground
Maybe it's the way that his head shakes
As he tells stories about the good old days
Back before I came around

He says why don't you come over
We could put a record on
And drink until we're sober
Let's make mistakes while we're still alive and young

And I wonder to myself
But I'm just too scared to say it
Out Loud

I wanna find his fingerprints
Along the nape of my neck
I wanna flirt with all the thoughts
Running circles around his head
Oh I'm a little tired
Of holding these words in

But I'll shove them down my throat once again
'Cause I'm just too scared to say it
Out Loud

I'm not sure just what it is about him
That keeps me writing songs
Maybe it's the tremble in his voice
As he says, "Love, tell me something I don't know"

And I wonder to myself
But I'm just too scared to say it
I'm just too scared to say it
Oh I'm just too scared to say it

Out Loud
