Sweetness

Nowadays I find myself saying the word "Sweet!" a lot more than usual (which was almost never). Something is wrong with me. Here's the first tune of the year.

If you're listening,
Sing it back.
String from your tether unwinds,
Up and outward (but only) to bind.
I was spinning free,
With a little sweet and simple numbing me.

Are you listening?
Sing it back.
So tell me, what do I need
When words lose their meaning?
I was spinning free,
With a little sweet and simple numbing me.

Yeah, stumble until you crawl,
Sinking into sweet uncertainty.

If you're listening...

Are you listening?
Sing it back.
And I'm still running away:
I won't play your hide and seek game.
I was spinning free,
With a little sweet and simple numbing me.

What a dizzy dance.
This sweetness will not be concerned with me.
No the sweetness will not be concerned with me.
No this sweetness will not be concerned with me.
- Jimmy Eat World, Sweetness
