Testo It's Me

Is it me who's once again
fallen into awkward pauses?
Or has the world just gone and skipped a beat?

'Cause I laugh before the punch line;
out of place and at the wrong time.
Tangled up again in my own feet.
So won't you throw me a line?
Please be so kind; I'm going under.
Just reel me in; now's a good time.
I have to wonder is it just me?
Or everybody?
I think it's me.

And I've tried to play it cool
but I'm reminded how I got no moves.
Life is surely hard some days.

So you know I wonder sometimes
if I had better quit while I'm behind.
Get back to the starting gate.
So won't you throw me a line?
Please be so kind; I'm going under.
Give me a sign; now's a good time.
I have to wonder is it just me?
Or everybody?
I think it's me.

I've clocked some distance but somebody failed to mention
that with the anchor down there's way too much resistance
and though I'm still moving, I'm circling down.
