Lifehouse - Near Life Experience lyrics
rate meIf I showed my hand shaking like a leaf, <br />you might not understand, but I bet you'd believe <br />this bat is inside, crawling around <br />the cobwebs in my mind that I try to drown out. <br /> <br />You said I look like a ghost, man I almost was. <br />You said I need to let go, quit chasing that buzz, <br />that picture in time, frozen like ice <br />that girls keep repeating, beating me down to size. <br /> <br />Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark. <br />I didn't get what I want, I got what I need. <br />Man, it hurts like hell down here on my knees. <br />Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? <br /> <br />The night is my friend, I blend in with the best: <br />The vampires, the crooks, the felons and the rest. <br />Now we can pretend that we really care less, <br />and act like we love what we really detest. <br /> <br />Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark. <br />I didn't get what I want, I got what I need. <br />Man it hurts like hell down here on my knees. <br />Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? <br /> <br />Make this go away, I'm begging please-- <br />there's little life left here for me to bleed. <br />Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? <br /> <br />I'm looking up but I'm feeling down, <br />since I'm cutting these corners, was cutting me down to size. <br /> <br />Am I losing control or losing my mind? <br />I know for a fact I'm losing my last place to hide. <br /> <br />Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark. <br />I didn't get what I want, I got what I need. <br />Man it hurts like hell down here on my knees. <br />Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? <br /> <br />My pulse is racing, I can't catch my breath. <br />This near-life experience scared me to death. <br />Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? <br /> <br />Or is this where we begin?<br /><br />
