lyrics

Cause I've been having second thoughts in my Taxi Cab
I wanted to go out but I feel so bad
I don't want you to see me when I look like this
I just want to go home now

Neck is tensing up
My nails pierce my skin
Suddenly my jeans they seem a size too thin
Hairs pulled, teeth clench - oh so painful
I'm tearing myself apart

And I don't feel brave
I never should have gone out
The things I wanna say won't even leave my mouth
And all I wanna do is just run back inside and hide
Life's way better like that
Yknow I really need a hug
But I'm scared you won't wanna touch me
When you see me
And the stain on my t-shirt

So Mr. Taxi Man
I hope you don't get mad
When I ask you to turn this cab around
There's been a change of plans
Anxiety's so bad
Can you please just turn this cab around

Tomorrow we lament another wasted night
Tell them I was tired,
watch the friendships die
Living like a hermit it's all I can cope with
But this loneliness might kill me

Isolation is a feedback loop
The more you cower -
That much more daunting contact gets
So help me run
I wanna never be seen again
In chains inside my home
The only place my nerves will rest.

So Mr. Taxi Man
I hope you don't get mad
When I ask you to turn this cab around
There's been a change of plans
Anxiety's so bad
Can you please just turn this cab around
