[Verse 1] I shake out my shoes before I step inside Check the tub, check the sink check the corners twice One black dot on the wall and my throat goes dry Tiny legs, sudden legs I can’t say why I know they’re just alive doing what they do But one more skitter sound and I’m gone from the room [Pre-Chorus] Heart in my ears hands in the air I see a dark shape and I stop right there Don’t tell me “little” don’t tell me “fine” When it runs fast it crosses my line [Chorus] Get it out, get it out Get it out of the room Get it out, get it out I can’t look at you I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe If you come too close Get it out, get it out Before I lose my hold [Verse 2] I stood on a chair once like it was a stage Praying to the ceiling with my face half-framed My brother laughed hard said “look how you froze” But I felt that crawl in my neck and toes I have opened every box with a phone torch beam Like I’m hunting shadows inside a bad dream And if it drops from above I’m out the back door You can call me dramatic I’ve heard that before [Pre-Chorus] Heart in my ears hands in the air I see a dark shape and I stop right there Don’t tell me “little” don’t tell me “fine” When it runs fast it crosses my line [Chorus] Get it out, get it out Get it out of the room Get it out, get it out I can’t look at you I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe If you come too close Get it out, get it out Before I lose my hold [Bridge] Maybe you’re harmless maybe you’re small Maybe you live here long after I fall But my skin says run my knees say now Every dark little corner is a threat somehow [Final Chorus] Get it out, get it out Get it out of the room Get it out, get it out I can’t look at you I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe If you come too close Get it out, get it out Before I lose my hold Get it out, get it out I’m still halfway gone Get it out, get it out Till the fear is done
