You know that moment

When the fear is creeping

Your knees are shaking

Your heart is aching

And your pride is fading

But the thing that makes you feel this way

Coincides with the feeling you hide inside

Now you want to break free

Because you're done feeling queasy

Yeah, I'm talking about that moment

You know that moment

When you get that feeling

That your skin is peeling

When you're the new person in the group

And your blood starts to feel like boiling soup

You're scared to look around

So your eyes don't meet with the people around

Then you get that chance to talk and

Your muscles tense up, feel stiff as chalk

But then they smile and respond pleasantly

Now you're comfortable being yourself

Because they helped put those shy feelings on a shelf

Yeah, even that moment

You know that moment

When you feel like a social sacrifice

When some people eyes feel like a piercing knife

Then you're the topic of the discussion

Makes your head feel like you just received a concussion

But they know what it feels like to be new

They begin to ease the pain away

And you start to find a way

To open your mouth and speak your words

You know that moment

Yeah, that moment
