lyrics

VERSE 1
We pass each other in the hallway
You wave and say hello
But thoughts and earbuds block you out,
and straight ahead I go

And ninety minutes later
I see you chatting with your friends
Don't want to bust in, make things weird,
and so I guess I'll pass you by again

CHORUS
Am I an ice queen
Am I an asshole
I see it seems that way to you
I got a cold stare
I got a hot soul
But I guess that only one comes through

Can't stand to get close
Can't stand to stay away
Can't stand to think that I might never know
Am I an ice queen
Am I an asshole
Or is this just the way that some things go?

VERSE 2
You're dancing with me in the nightclub
but you don't say a word
I bite the bullet, shout my name
just so I know I'm heard

And so we trade our numbers
but neither of us calls
It's been three weeks, just tell me,
do you wanna know me more or not at all?

CHORUS
Am I an ice queen
Am I an asshole
I see it seems that way to you
I got a cold stare
I got a hot soul
But I guess that only one comes through

Can't stand to get close
Can't stand to stay away
Can't stand to think that I might never know
Am I an ice queen
Am I an asshole
Or is this just the way that some things go?

VERSE 3 (Sub out guitar for something else? Vibraphone or strings or the like?)
You lie beside me on your mattress
it's lying on the floor
I want to stay here through the night and yet
I'm staring at the door

We try to hide our heartbreak
before the cracks have shown
When I step forward, you step back
I give you space, you hate to be alone

CHORUS
Am I an ice queen
Am I an asshole
I see it seems that way to you
I got a cold stare
I got a hot soul
But I guess that only one comes through

Can't stand to get close
Can't stand to stay away
Can't stand to think that I might never know
Am I an ice queen
Am I an asshole
Or is this just the way that some things go?
