Ha, ha-ha, ha, ha-ha

Ha, ha-ha, ha, ha-ha

Ha, ha-ha

My body carries sadness that my brain cannot yet see

And I've been holding on to memories in my stomach and my teeth

And both my shoulders have been burdened by the weight of my mistakes

And every time you lean in closer, both my knees can't help but shake

And I think you're a danger to my health, or so it seems

Is it love or a panic attack?

Is a heavy heart too much to hold?

I don't know, but it's late, so I'm taking you home

Is it love or a panic attack?

Would you mind if I asked you on the phone?

I don't know, but it's late, so I'm taking you home

Mm-mm

I had to call the doctor, left a note on his machine

Because I tripped when we went walking and I felt it in my spleen

Now I think I need a blood test or an antihistamine

Because you make me fucking nervous

And I don't know what it all means

And I think you're a danger to my health, or so it seems

Is it love or a panic attack?

Is a heavy heart too much to hold?

I don't know, but it's late, so I'm taking you home

Is it love or a panic attack?

Would you mind if I asked you on the phone?

I don't know, but it's late, so I'm taking you home

My spirit has been broken

My optimism's getting sore

And I would love to love you

But my body's keepin' score

And I don't know if I can see you anymore

Is it love, is it love (Is it love, is it love, is it love)

Is it love, is it love (Is it love, is it love)

Is it love or a panic attack?

Is a heavy heart too much to hold?

I don't know, but it's late, so I'm taking you home

Is it love or a panic attack? (Is it love, is it love)

Would you mind if I asked you on the phone?

I don't know, but it's late, so I'm taking you home
