Feet
Rubber Duc Lyrics

Oh, Hailey
The singer addresses Hailey.

The battle's in my head
The singer is struggling with their feelings.

I need to tell you
The singer wants to express their feelings to Hailey.

I look away instead
The singer avoids eye contact with Hailey when they try to tell her how they feel.

I'm too shy, babe
The singer is too timid and nervous to confess his feelings to Hailey.

I'm in the corner
The singer feels isolated and disconnected from Hailey.

You're outside my square
Hailey occupies a different social space than the singer, and they struggle to connect.

I'm just a shadow
The singer feels invisible and unimportant to Hailey.

But all I do is stare
Despite his isolation, the singer continues to look at Hailey.

I'm stuck inside
The singer feels trapped in his own thoughts and unable to act on his feelings.

I can't clarify this
The singer struggles to articulate his emotions to Hailey.

I'm terrified
The singer is scared to express his feelings to Hailey.

To tell you, I need you, to tell you
The singer needs to tell Hailey how he feels, but he struggles to find the courage to do so.

When you cannot breathe
The singer offers to support Hailey when she's struggling.

I'll let you borrow the breath in my lungs
The singer will be there for Hailey when she needs help.

When your lungs are hollow
When Hailey is feeling lost and vulnerable.

Where your feet will run
Wherever Hailey needs to go to feel better.

My feet will follow too
The singer will be there to support Hailey no matter what.

I took the line you kissed
The singer has something of Hailey's that reminds him of her.

It's just a while
The memory of Hailey is temporary, but it still means a lot to the singer.

I'm no enthusiast
The singer is not simply a casual admirer of Hailey, but has deep feelings for her, despite being too shy to express them.

I'm too wry, babe
The singer tries to play it cool, but his feelings for Hailey are obvious.

I'm in the water
The singer feels like he's in too deep when it comes to his feelings for Hailey.

And I don't breathe your air
Hailey's presence makes the singer feel out of his element.

I must admit, I'm scared
The singer is afraid to tell Hailey how he feels.

I will try, babe
The singer is willing to take a risk by pursuing Hailey, despite his fears.

It's justified and I can't try
The singer knows he can't keep hiding his feelings from Hailey.

To keep on hiding
The singer is tired of keeping his thoughts to himself and hiding his true feelings.

So when we collide
When the singer and Hailey finally connect.

Oh baby, I'll tell you I need you
The singer will finally tell Hailey how he feels.
