EELS - On My Feet lyrics

rate me

One, two, three

Two, two, three

I am a man

In great pain over

Great beauty

It's not easy

Standing on my feet

These days

But you know I'm pretty sure that

I've been through worse

And I'm sure I can take the hit

I pushed the bed against the window today

So there'd only be one side

Well, it's a little less lonely that way

But I'm still dying inside

When I wake up

In the middle of the night

No one's gonna tell me

I'll be all right

So many thousands

Of days in my life

That I don't remember

And a small handful

Of days that I do

Hold near to my heart

And one of those days

That I remember well

Is about me and you

When it's time

To look back on my life

Most of it won't seem so important

The shit that matters

And what I'll really miss

Is falling asleep with your arms around me

Waking up knowing that you're there

Making everything feel right in the world

People sleeping

In Hazmat suits

Taping up their windows

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world

And it's hard to make any sense of it

But one thing I know that is true in this world

Is the love that I felt for you

Being on my feet these days

Well, it's a wonder I survive

No one taught me how to live on my own

I'm running scared

One sweet day I'll be back on my feet

And I'll be all right

I just gotta get

Back on my feet
