[Verse]
Anger is my mask, worn to evade
To escape an uninteresting moment exchanging
A glance in the halls in the wake of me
Making a break from the ball, but he's taken to
Sporting a scowl in the midst of the crowd
And in doing so might heighten awareness to those eventual
Sordid clowns around the room
That've broken my stride

[Verse]
Space is gone
You've proceeded to push me to the front
In the case of friends, my hand extends
Reluctant nonchalance
Reluctance is my only friend
Unwillingness can't hurt your head
Hesitance can be your end
Reluctance is my only, only

[Chorus]
How we go from longing
To remain underwhelmed
From a dare, to a kiss, then a remark
Out of spite, unusually nice
Well, you caught me
'Cause you're right, and you've always been
He's saving one dance for the lately
"You can thank me"
'Cause you're right, and you've always been
(From a dare, to a kiss, then a remark)
