Trembling knees
I always dream about a deadly earthquake
That shakes the state, smoke and flames
Always make it oh, so hard to speak and see, I can't escape

Wait for me, I'm so afraid
But you always seem so secure oh and oh so sure
I'm so sorry but everything I keep close to me runs away
Oh, such a shame

I'll hide amongst the trees
And breathe so quietly until the sun comes out
Until the morning comes, so many things scare me
Like her shadows dance amongst the trees

I've got the skin and bones to stand and say
So many things to you, oh to you
Oh, but I lack the guts to hold the weight
And keep my blood so clam, so calm

Trembling knees
I always dream about a deadly earthquake
That shakes the state, smoke and flames
Always make it oh, so hard to speak and see, I can't escape

I'll hide amongst the trees
And breathe so quietly until the sun comes out
Until the morning comes, so many things scare me
Like her shadows dance amongst the trees

And when the ground all breaks, I'll just run away
I'm sorry I still haven't changed

I'll trade my veins for your nerves
Maybe then I'll stay strong

Wait for me, I'm so afraid
But you always seem so secure oh and oh so sure
I'm so sorry but everything I keep close to me runs away
Oh, such a shame

Trembling knees
I always dream about a deadly earthquake
That shakes the state, smoke and flames
Always make it oh, so hard to speak and see, I can't escape
