My eyes won’t open all the way
I see you over there and practice what I’d say
The color’s gone from this deadpan face
My arms outstretched don’t run away
If I wasn’t a zombie I would ask you out for coffee
We could make up silly stories ’bout the strangers
When I open up my mouth to speak
Nothin clever comes out of me
And I fear that I am stuck this way forever
I drag my feet pick up the pace
I can hear your heart as it starts to race
Would you slow down I don’t like the chase
My arms outstretched don’t run away
If I wasn’t a zombie I would ask you out for ice cream
We could take our time sampling every flavor
When I open up my mouth to speak
Nothing sweet comes out of me
And I fear that I am stuck this way forever
You’ll think I’m emotionally vacant
And I won’t communicate well
How can I prove to you
I’m not completely lifeless
Just a pearl trapped in a shell
If I wasn’t a zombie we could watch a scary movie
If I get nervous could I hide out in your shoulder
When I open up my mouth to scream
You won’t hear a peep outta me
And I fear that I am stuck this way forever
So I’ll keep a safe distance away
I’ll keep a safe distance away
My outstretched
Don’t run
