lyrics

hello, good morning
nice to meet you
please excuse the fact
that at the time I wrote that line
it was the evening, and
there's every chance you're hearing it
some other time of day
but that moment's passed
thank g-d for that
I'm glad it's out the way

'cos I'm going round in circles
hoping to disguise the fact
I might not be so boring
if I could just drop the act
I'm just so pleased to see you
I just can't let you see
that all my songs about feeling happy
are secretly
about misery

I didn't want today to be
the day that you found out
your every little kindness
registers to me as doubt
and we just met
it's early days to whine about my health
so I'll hide behind my anxiety
say more about yourself

'cos I'm going round in circles
hoping to disguise the fact
I might be someone interesting
if I could just learn how to act
I'm just so pleased to see you
I just can't let you see
that all my songs about feeling happy
are secretly
about misery
