Story behind the song
This song is about social anxiety, originally inspired by a photo of a band holding tea cups, and my own struggles with akwardness.
Lyrics
get me off of this middle ground
where i like it when you're here but not around
take away the insecurity
i don't want it to be like you don't know me
give me a little help, a little space
drink from teacups made of glass that breaks
into a million pieces in my face
and shreds away the mask that i've been in
i'm tired of being halfway here
after a cup of tea or a couple beers
i can't hold myself up halfway straight
and i keep talking to you but i can't relate
gave me a little help, a little space
drink from teacups made of glass that breaks
into a million pieces in my face
and shreds away the mask that i've been in
you said do it yourself little man
you think you can't but i know you can
all this doubt is in your head
but in reality you're steps ahead
gave me a little help, a little space
drink from teacups made of glass that breaks
into a million pieces in my face
and shreds away the mask that i've been in
