[Verse 1] Saral appears at my side I jump like a bad wire A skittish laugh tears out of me Too sharp, too loud, too fast “Saral, hey. How are you?” My mouth trips on the words You look right through me Like you already know [Pre-Chorus] “What’s going on?” “Why have you been avoiding me?” My throat goes dry My hands go cold “Oh! I…” I stare at the floor I’m hunting for a lie And it’s hunting me back [Chorus] Skittish laugh, skittish laugh Catch me if you can (catch me if you can) Skittish laugh, skittish laugh I’m breaking in my hands (I’m breaking) Skittish laugh, skittish laugh Don’t make me say it plain Skittish laugh, skittish laugh Yesterday still stains [Verse 2] “Sorry, Saral. I’ve just been feeling Very strange” I say it like a shield But it bends at the edge Since that whole thing With Finbar and the Brothers Happened at school yesterday The hall still tastes like ash Your silence feels huge [Breakdown] Hey! Hey! I’m not fine I’m not fine I laughed too hard To keep from screaming I laughed too hard To keep from seeing [Chorus] Skittish laugh, skittish laugh Catch me if you can (catch me if you can) Skittish laugh, skittish laugh I’m breaking in my hands (I’m breaking) Skittish laugh, skittish laugh Don’t make me say it plain Skittish laugh, skittish laugh Yesterday still stains [Outro] Saral, I’m here I’m here But I’m still afraid Of what I know Of what you’ll say
