Calm Your Little Passions

You were embarrassing yourself last night
I feel like I don't know you, and you're feeling in the mood
Predictably creating scenes
With me, content with being scenery
Now watch the two collide, the two collide

Well I've figured out why I'm so ungrateful
I never know I've been in a fight
For every delicate there's a stone cold spiteful
I'm somewhere in the middle tonight

Oh oh oh,
Calm your little passions before you hurt someone, you hurt someone
Oh oh oh,
Curve those little edges, that's how rumours start, rumours start

If we're picking sides you're choosing mine
We'll wage a war on every standard
Their numbers count for nothing here
You dance in circles, we're in squares
At least we can make an angle
Round and round you go, nowhere, you go nowhere

Look at me, I believe I'm Phillipe Petit
But the wire's getting higher till it's way too high for me
And after the fall, surrounded in chalk
This was never an accident

Oh oh oh,
Calm your little passions before you hurt someone, you hurt someone
Oh oh oh,
Curve those little edges, that's how rumours start, rumours start

I'm singing calm your little
It's that simple
Calm your little
It's that simple

Just say no!
It's a curve I'll never learn
Say no
It's a curve I'll never learn

Oh oh oh,
Calm your little passions before you hurt someone, you hurt someone
Oh oh oh,
Curve those little edges, that's how rumours start, rumours start
