Glen Phillips - Back On My Feet lyrics

rate me

I've been angry and I have strayed<br />

I said words I never thought that I could say<br />

And you were sad and sweet like a Wilco song<br />

I'll be back upon my feet before too long<br />

<br />

You could say you wanted me<br />

If I said it first words rang hollow<br />

And the emptiness became a thirst<br />

Now I could drink those words<br />

<br />

They would make me strong<br />

I'd be back upon my feet before too long<br />

I'd be back upon my feet before too long, before too long<br />

<br />

If you'd met me now you never would have stuck around<br />

No, you never would have stuck around<br />

So I will lay me down by the salty sea<br />

And let the water pull the sand over my body<br />

To wash me clean like a river stone<br />

<br />

I'd be back upon my feet before too long<br />

Yeah, I'd be back upon my feet before too long<br />

Back on my feet, back upon my feet, back on my feet<br /><br />
