Tension is a Teacher

I'm over here you're over there

You're trying to read

I'm trying not to stare

and I've never been this scared

but my mind keeps opening the window and sneaking over there to you

I'm ill-equipped and unprepared

you're running your fingers through you hair

invisible signals, you're aware

that I can't sleep for thinking about

everything I want to do to you

tension is a teacher

tension is a teacher

tension is a teacher

and it's teaching me

it's teaching me

I'm not getting any work done

eyes, lips, teeth, tongue

and I'm as serious as a gun when I say

I feel like all my adolescence is rolling into one

tension is a teacher

tension is a teacher

tension is a teacher

and it's teaching me

it's teaching me

I wanna be a believer, let tension be the teacher

I wanna be a believer, let tension be the teacher

I wanna be a believer, let tension be the teacher

I wanna be a believer, let tension be the teacher

I wanna be a believer, let tension be the teacher

I wanna be a believer, let tension be the teacher

I wanna be a believer, let tension be the teacher

I wanna be a believer

tension is a teacher

tension is a teacher

tension is a teacher

and it's teaching me it's teaching me
