Just A Phase
Incubus污 Lyrics

I am bottled fizzy water
I feel like something that's been shaken up and is under pressure

And you were shaking me up
You were the one that caused this pressure

You are a fingernail running down the chalkboard I thought I left in third grade
I feel extremely uncomfortable around you, like the horrifying screech of nails on a chalkboard from my childhood memories.

Now my only consolation is that this could not last forever
At least I know that this terrible phase won't last forever.

Even though you're singing and thinking how well you've got it made
You may be enjoying this time, thinking you have everything under control, but it's not going to last.

Who are you?
Who are you to put me through this?

And will you be through
Will you be done with me soon?

Yeah, it's just a phase
This awful moment in my life is nothing but a temporary phase.

It will be over soon
This phase will come to an end soon.

Yeah, it's just a...phase
This whole thing is just a phase.

Call it women's intuition
I trust my gut feeling.

But I think I'm on to something here
I believe I have insight into this situation.

Temporaryism has been the black plague
Our tendency to see everything as temporary has become a serious problem.

And the Jesus of our age
The idea that everything gets resolved in time is a widely accepted belief.

I know that I sound opinionated, maybe biased and quite possibly jaded
It's possible that my negativity is clouding my judgement.

But sooner than later they'll be throwing quarters at you on the stage
You're going to find yourself a performer, entertaining the masses to earn your keep.

And I am waiting for it to be over too
I am patiently waiting for this phase to come to an end.
