Shot in the Dark

I've rehearsed this scene since I was young
But now my lovely words are hiding from my tongue
You look at me like a movie
And you chew on my name like candy

I'm just trying not to fuck it all up
I'm just trying not to fuck it all up
It's a shot in the dark

I can feel it now, it's creepin' in
But behind my smile I am panicking
Perhaps I'll curl up into a ball and wait...
I'm just trying not to fuck it all up
Want it so bad just don't fuck it up
It's a shot in the dark

You were as necessary as I was all too optional
So I'll wear a mask of confidence
And I'll try to think what a normal person might say to this
Shaky hands please don't fail me now, take aim
And I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
Easy now, easy now, shoot
