I didn't know what numb was
I was trying to be fine
Without looking at my hands
I trapped it all inside
Wait for me at the corner
I'll be out in a moment
Let's wiggle under artificial light
‘Cause with you I feel alive

I'm done feeling nothing, it's so boring
I've run the gauntlet, even the gargoyles
Are sick of me sulking
If you rang my number
I would feed the cat and come out
You're some kind of good for me
I see you and feel something

I didn't know what numb was
I was trying to be fine
Without looking at my hands
I trapped it all inside
Wait for me at the corner
I'll be out in a moment
Let's wiggle under artificial light
‘Cause with you I feel alive

They say everyone's doing their best
With the light they have
But you see I bunkered in the dark
It hurt too much to let it go
Too heavy to feel it
So I lived through TV shows
Watching on my own

I didn't know what numb was
I was trying to be fine
Without looking at my hands
I trapped it all inside
Wait for me at the corner
I'll be out in a moment
Let's wiggle under artificial light
‘Cause with you I feel alive

I'm sorry I didn't reply
I was busy feeling sorry for myself
I think it's high time
I got these feelings off the back shelf
And called you ‘cause

I didn't know what numb was
I was trying to be fine
Without looking at my hands
I trapped it all inside
Wait for me at the corner
I'll be out in a moment
Let's wiggle under artificial light
‘Cause with you I feel alive
