Feels Much BETTER
Felt like a hurricane in my head
another goodbye I never said
He made an aeroplane with his mind
and left the rest of us behind
It took me 5 years to remember
another 9 to let you know
that when I'm with you it
feels much better somehow
Sometimes I wonder how hard it would be
to live this life all alone
avoiding the broken bottles as I walk to the sea
Oh how you remind me of me
Sometimes when I'm standing by the water
I hear the echo of that scream
But when I'm with you it
feels much better somehow
and when the songbirds sing
they don't seem to try
I know you love me
so maybe so can I
and If there's one thing I'll remember
It's that we always made it through
cos when I'm with you it
feels much better somehow.
You Can't make me
I said I'm scared about the future
she said she's scared but she's excited
I said I'm running from another demon
she said she'd turn around and fight it
I said if only I was like you
she just look away and smiled
I said I'm scared we're losing what we once were
she said that hope lives inside of progress
I think that heaven might be just a construct
she said only time will tell
I asked how are you so solid
she just looked at me and laughed
and said...
I am just the same as you
and my heart beats just like yours
and I wake up in the night some times
and my feet can't touch the floor
I sometimes listen to the sad songs
and let them stir my soul
but they will not define me
and they can't make me whole
See all my life I've been sold
words that make my mouth feel cold
but here I am warts and all
and I can't pretend anymore
It's been a while since we last spoke
and I'm aware I probably let you down
everything got so loud inside my head
I had to drown it out
she said don't be so hard on yourself
and don't forget we're all just passing through
and that...
I am just the same as you
and my heart beats just like yours
I wake up in the night sometimes
and my feet can't touch the floor
I sometimes listen to the sad songs
and let them stir my soul
but they cannot define me
and you can't make me whole.
