Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Shaun’s got a problem, it's written on his face
He's drawn to Esme, but she’s hard to chase
She tells him to clean up, get it together
But he's lost in a daydream of staying forever
He watches her walk, every move in line
In his mind she’s cruel, but she’s looking so fine
She says, "Shaun, you're a mess, you’ve gotta be clean"
But all he can hear is her voice in his dreams
(Chorus)
Oh, Esme, why you gotta be so mean?
Shaun's stuck on you, though you're never serene
You tell him to wash, to straighten his act
But he’s chasing your shadow, can’t ever turn back
Esme, you’re the storm in his mind
A wreck that he just can’t leave behind
(Verse 2)
He knows it’s unhealthy, this thing he can’t shake
But every glance she gives, makes his heart ache
She calls him a fool, says “Get away”
But her words pull him closer, day after day
He stalks the street where she always walks
Hoping she’ll stop, maybe they’ll talk
But she just keeps moving, never looks twice
To him, she's the danger, but she feels so nice
(Chorus)
Oh, Esme, why you gotta be so mean?
Shaun's stuck on you, though you're never serene
You tell him to wash, to straighten his act
But he’s chasing your shadow, can’t ever turn back
Esme, you’re the storm in his mind
A wreck that he just can’t leave behind
(Bridge)
She’s all he can see, but she’s never around
He’s falling apart, sinking down
Esme’s the chaos he can’t escape
He’ll keep on falling for her cruel shape
(Chorus)
Oh, Esme, why you gotta be so mean?
Shaun's stuck on you, though you're never serene
You tell him to wash, to straighten his act
But he’s chasing your shadow, can’t ever turn back
Esme, you’re the storm in his mind
A wreck that he just can’t leave behind
(Outro)
Shaun's lost in a world where Esme is queen
Obsessed with her words, though she’s never been keen
He’ll never be clean, never set free
As long as he’s stuck, obsessed with Esme...
