Tempest Lyrics

My manner is imperious

My logic is empirical

And I’m bad at being a girlfriend

So I’m hoping for a miracle



I fear your disappointment

When I don’t turn out ethereal

Though either way for me

I know it means some new material



Now don’t go thinkin’ that you’re special

Just because you are

’Cause I’m bound to overthink it

And I always go too far



But if you think this kind of tempest

May just be your cup of tea

Then I’d like to offer you

The heart of me



Each attempt to clarify

Serves only to confuse

And it feels just like a fracture

But it looks more like a bruise



And my heart can’t bear the weight

Of one more empty “I love you”

And I’ve strained my eyes to blindness

Trying to find a point of view



Now don’t go thinkin’ that I’m crazy

Just because I am

’Cause I wouldn’t act indifferent

If I didn’t give a damn



And if you think this kind of tempest

May just be your cup of tea

Then I’d like to offer you

The heart of me



Now don’t go thinkin’ that I love you

Just because I do

’Cause I’ve never met a certainty

I couldn’t misconstrue



But if you think this kind of tempest

May just be your cup of tea

Then I’d like to offer you

The heart of me



Yes, I’d like to offer you

The heart of me
