Sonic Youth I.C.P. The Ex Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're in my eye line
My heart grows in size
It makes me nervous, ooh so nervous
When I see you walk by you open my mind
It fills me with purpose, ooh with purpose
Oh, I see you walk by
Your eyes grow in size
Oh, you must be nervous

Why are you nervous?
I seek for a sign
Want the vibes to be right
Cause you're perfect and I feel worthless, do I deserve this?
And I've got seeds on the line
Friendship, memories on the line, yeah
Yeah, I can tell that you're nervous
Just take my hand, it'll be worth it
Oh, I'm not nervous around you but I want you to be true
Please don't make me work for it
Do you think you'll open up to me, yeah?
Do you think you will let me see you?
I see how you act
Just hold eye contact until you're not nervous
I see that you're nervous
When you're in my eye line
My heart grows in size (I see that you're nervous)
It makes me nervous, ooh so nervous (I see that you're nervous)
When I see you walk by you open my mind
It fills me with purpose, ooh with purpose
Please don't make me work
Oh, don't make me work
I see you walk by, my heart grows in size

Because I am nervous
You make me nervous
