Post Card #17 Lyrics - Jens Lekman

What am I so scared of? 

What's the worst that could happen? 

Been awake all night 

Heard the rain tapping 

If something taps on the window 

In the middle of the night 

Just let it in, alright 

Just let it in, alright 

I couldn't even write about it in my diary 

Or shape the sound of the words 

So I tried sneaking up behind it 

Like the lion sneaks up on the herd 

If I just put this pen to this paper 

If I just change the labels on the salt and pepper shaker 

If I just trick myself into pouring it all out 

Just let it all out, alright 

Just let it all out 

If you just say its name 

Three times in front of the mirror 

Its pale face will appear 

Grinning in the corner 

And you turn around 

And you study its particulars 

You say: "Is that what I was scared of?" 

Fucking ridiculous 

It's fucking ridiculous 

It's all in your head 

It's all in your head 

It's all in your head 

It's all in your head 

It's all in your head 

It's all in your head 

It's all in your head 

It's all in your head
