I can't stand myself tonight
This evening could've been such a delight
If it wasn't for the unfortunate fact that I am here
Someone once said no one can save you from yourself
That rings partly true
But that fine thinker clearly didn't have someone like you
You make me witty, you make me bright
You panel the gold for my dirty mind
When I'm with you
There's absolutely nothing that could go wrong

If I'm out of tune, you say you love my new song
You set me free, you make me feel forgiven and strong
You say I'm a genious
And it makes me feel so comfortable in my skin
Come and distract me, come and interact with me
Come and fuck me up with your wicked love
That's larger than this life
Come with your sparkling eye that always recognizes
The better of me in every crowd
In every crowd
In every crowd

I get so terribly frightened and caught up in myself at times
I need you to come and rescue me and remind me of the light
I am becoming addicted to your comforting and helping hand
It's not a sustainable setup
You don't ask for the same favour back

I can't stand myself tonight
This evening could've been such a delight
If it wasn't for the unfortunate fact that I am here
