Throw away the radio suitcase
That keeps you awake
Hide the telephone, the telephone, telephone in case
You realize that sometimes you're just not okay
You level off, you level off, you level off
But it's not alright now
You need to understand
There's nothing strange about this
You need to know your friends
You need to know that
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
watching you scream
Quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need
A friend as clumsy as you've been
There's no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here
Throw away this very old shoelace,
That tripped you again
Try and shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
It's only skin now
You need to understand
There's nothing fake about this
You need to let me in
I'm watching you and...
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
No one's around
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need
A friend as clumsy as you've been
There's no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in...Oooo
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need
A friend as clumsy as you've been
There's no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here
In here

| I found this in an interview with the band:
"Clumsy is about making decisions. There is a connection between the song Clumsy and it being the title of the album. The lyric: I'll be waving my hand/watching you drown/ watching you scream is about seeing something, but not seeing it for what it really is. You may decide to help... or to just wave back."
I know that's pretty cryptic, but it provides some insight. | | 01-08-2004 16:35 jiggylovesyou |

| I think it's about getting like the monkey off your back, getting rid of things that annoy you, moving foward and not being held back like that one guy said  | | 12-08-2004 01:47 iluvraine |

| Okay, I changed my mind. I'll only post when anything's affiliated with Our Lady Peace.
I've never really understood Raine's theories or inspirations...take Waiting for example, that song has stumped almost every single OLP fan. I would have never guessed Clumsy meant that if you hadn't posted it.  But yeah, they rock.
(And Mariah- if you happen to read this, thanks for thinking I'm "fricking hot". ) | | 29-08-2004 23:11 Skater_jenM82 |

Hey guys, I never really thought about it like that either. My take is that the person he is talking about is a clumsy friend in that they are careless with how others feel, and isn't there for them when they need it, and so when the clumsy person needs help they will have no one there to help them.
my $0.02 anyway. | | 14-11-2004 16:11 guitaristchick |

that just means that she should forget about the other things that have brought her down.

And maybe you just need
A friend as clumsy as you've been
There's no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here
I think it means that shes been clumsy with her heart, but he understands and she can be safe with him...
Throw away this very old shoelace,
That tripped you again
I think it means to let go of everything and everyone from the past that brings her down
You need to understand
There's nothing fake about this
You need to let me in
I think it means that he isnt fake he is sincere so she should open up her heart for him. Hes not gonna hurt her like everyone else.
but i dont know, thats just how i see it

I always thought this was about a friend that had lashed out at everyone, and he forgives him/her. He accepts them despite the mistakes that have been made in the past. | | 19-06-2005 00:22 Shanwa |

| This song always makes me think of the fact that over here, it's legal to watch someone drown without doing anything to help them. I don't know, it just always makes me laugh, even though the rest of the lyrics really have nothing to do with that. |
