PANIC

PANIC — LYRICS

Sunday sun, half past nine
Walking nowhere, feeling fine
Pigeons scatter, people pass
Then I see you on the grass

Paperback and apple red
Morning light around your head
I forget where I was going
All I know is what you said—

One look, two steps
Heart goes off like a siren
No plan, no brakes
No use in hiding

I'm not manic
But I'm in a panic
To be close to you
I'm not crazy
You just hit me, baby
Like a bolt right through
Hey! Hey! What can I do?
I'm not manic
But I'm in a panic
To be close to you

I said, “Hi, this might sound wild
But you just wrecked my morning mile
If you feel one-half this spark
Come blow the daylight through this park”

You just laughed and shut your book
Took one bite and gave that look
Said, “You've got one shot, Romeo”
I said, “Good — that's all I know”

One look, two steps
Now the whole world's shaking
No map, no rules
No time for waiting

I'm not manic
But I'm in a panic
To be close to you
I'm not crazy
You just hit me, baby
Like a bolt right through
Hey! Hey! What can I do?
I'm not manic
But I'm in a panic
To be close to you

Leaves go flying
Pages too
Sky turns electric
Because of you
Call it thunder
Call it static
Call it totally automatic

Hey! Hey!
Come on, come on!
Hey! Hey!
The morning's gone!

I'm not manic
But I'm in a panic
To be close to you
I'm not crazy
You just hit me, baby
And you feel it too
Hey! Hey! We're breaking through
I'm not manic
But I'm in a panic
To be close to you

Apple on the bench
Book on the ground
Two wild hearts
Running downtown
I'm not manic
I'm not manic
I'm not manic—
I'm in a panic for you!
