Tripping over my own two feet

As I try to sweep you off yours

I stutter and stumble and fall

(better luck next time, kid)

What else can I do

But rise and try to shake it off

There’s just no getting over it

No matter what I try

I won’t live it down

The moment it all fell apart

Up in smoke and flame

As red as my face

As I try to avoid eye contact

Bowing and scraping

And backing away

To find a hole to crawl into

Another crash and burn
