Look outside the sky is gray
And the clouds are filled with rain
It makes me jealous how it opens up and
I'm stuck inside again

I'm like a sitcom polyester family, inside my TV
I'm the boy in the bubble and you, can't touch me
Never open up, never coming out and

I fear every time when the government calls
I'm absent, hidin' in my closet
I feel like a news correspondent
Got lockjaw, can't tell you that I love you
Got lockjaw, can't tell you that I love you

I stand in the mirror and I pull my hair out
I can't control my thoughts
I wonder why my eyes are dry as a desert
My stomach's tied in knots

Like a freak show, sittin' on a sidewalk
My outline drawn in chalk, yeah
Freeze every time I hear the phone ring
I'll never hear you knock
I'll never open up, I'm never coming out and

I fear every time when the government calls
I'm absent, hidin' in my closet
I feel like a news correspondent
Got lockjaw, can't tell you that I love you
Got lockjaw, can't tell you that I love you

I thumb through magazines to garner love facts
Cosmo's got seven tips
I pick up the phone and I try to call you
No words, just frozen lips, yeah

I send a message, but you know it's always cryptic
No sound on my TV, yeah
I'm the boy in the bubble and you can't touch me
Never open up, never coming out and

I fear every time when the government calls
I'm absent hiding in my closet
I feel like a news correspondent
Got lockjaw, can't tell you that I love you
Got lockjaw, can't tell you that I love you

Got lockjaw, can't tell you that I love you
Got lockjaw, can't tell you that I love you
I love you
