Something Happens Lyrics - John Hiatt

I get jumpy 

Wanna step on the gas 

Drive right out of 

this place fast 

She says, "Red light 

I'll take those keys" 

Out of my mind and 

On my knees 

(Chorus) 

Something happens 

And I don't know why 

I can't seem to get my future 

Out of her eyes 

Something happens 

And never for sure 

If I could name this sickness 

I'd be cured 

I'd be cured

She's long distance 

And it's a grind 

Always static 

On that line 

Tear the phone out 

From the wall 

But in my head I 

Get that call 

(Chorus) 

Something happens 

And I don't know why 

I can't seem to get my future 

Out of her eyes 

Something happens 

And never for sure 

If I could name this sickness 

I'd be cured 

I'd be cured

She don't wanna talk 

She don't wanna talk to me 

She just wanna look 

She just wanna look through me 

It's a famine 

Or it's a feast 

Who's that beauty 

Who's that beast 

Threatening murder 

Or happiness 

And if I do it 

Will I confess 

(Chorus) 

Something happens 

And I don't know why 

I can't seem to get my future 

Out of her eyes 

Something happens 

And never for sure 

If I could name this sickness 

I'd be cured 

I'd be cured
