Paroles: John Hiatt. Something Happens.

I get jumpy, wanna step on the gas
Drive right out of this place fast
She says, "Red light, I'll take those keys"
Out of my mind and on my knees

Something happens and I don't know why
I can't seem to get my future out of her eyes
Something happens and never for sure
If I could name this sickness, I'd be cured, I'd be cured

She's long distance and it's a grind
Always static on that line
Tear the phone out from the wall
But in my head I get that call

Something happens and I don't know why
I can't seem to get my future out of her eyes
Something happens and never for sure
If I could name this sickness, I'd be cured, I'd be cured

She don't wanna talk
She don't wanna talk to me
She just wanna look
She just wanna look through me

It's a famine or it's a feast
Who's that beauty, who's that beast
Threatening murder or happiness
And if I do it, will I confess

Something happens and I don't know why
I can't seem to get my future out of her eyes
Something happens and never for sure
If I could name this sickness, I'd be cured, I'd be cured
