Awkward by Weakened Friends
All the songs I’ve ever written are really depressing…Awkward was my attempt at writing a song about something joyful. I don’t know if I really nailed it, since it’s still filled with the ol’ self doubt narrative, but I’d like to think this song is more on the positive side. Awkward really pinpoints the feeling you get when everything is just new and exciting. I wanted to dive into the feeling of having a big practically life altering crush, where you’re equal parts excited,embarrassed and terrified. As someone who identifies as queer, I think it’s important to also share the happier, more joyful experiences regarding love and relationships, it’s not always dread, doom and gloom, and Awkward is a testament to that!

Lyrics
Tell me it’s not over
Tell me not to stop
Cuz I don’t think that I have had enough
Sorry if I’m awkward, tell me that I’m not
Cuz we still have time to fuck this up.
It’s like I’m breathing under water
When everything’s still at the start
But I can fumble around forever
If it means this feeling never stops.
I want to dive into you
I wanna do everything you do
Cuz you make me feel like new
Take me home, I wanna get off
Tell me it’s not over
Tell me not to stop
Cuz I don’t think that I have had enough
Sorry if I’m awkward, tell me that I’m not
Cuz we still have time to fuck this up.
I can’t find the words to fill in
Every single pause just sets me off
I get stuck in my head and I’m spinning
When I’m overwhelmed does it turn you on?
I wanna go down with you
Dizzy in my head do you feel it too?
Unravel my life for you
Take me out, I wanna get off.
Tell me it’s not over
Tell me not to stop
Cuz I don’t think that I have had enough
Sorry if I’m awkward, tell me that I’m not
Cuz we still have time to fuck this up.
Yeah we still have time to fuck this up.
Feel it like a head rush
Everytime our paths cross
I can let it all just swallow me
I’ll drown out all the sound
Like there’s no one else around
In my head it’s just you all over me
And I can’t make it stop
You’re in every single thought
Is it obvious
And can’t you see?
I have to admit
I’m letting it slip
Cuz crushing on you has been crushing me.
Tell me it’s not over
Tell me not to stop
Cuz I don’t think that I have had enough
Sorry if I’m awkward, tell me that I’m not
Cuz we still have time to fuck this up.
Tell me it’s not over
Tell me not to stop
Cuz I don’t think that I have had enough
Sorry if I’m awkward, tell me that I’m not
Cuz we still have time to fuck this up.
Yeah we still have time to fuck this up.
Yeah we still have time to fuck this up.
