Back On My Feet

Something like
I’ll be back before you know it
Never looking like I wanna
Always too cheap to show it
Earlier than I ever expected
I’m always pacing in the driveway
Too much time for me to kill

No one’s really far away
But no one really ever stays
It’s all just one long journey homeward
Pack me a bag and let me have it

Pushing through the crowd
Like a crest on a wave
Oh white sea rolls over
And I’m playing it safe and
Making eyes from hands and knees
I’ll spend my whole life getting back on my feet
I’ll spend my whole life getting back on my feet

Writing down
All the places I’ll be going
Never looking like I wanna
Always pulling at my face
You were there
Hanging out your mother’s car
You hear me shouting in the front seat
But you’re swerving in the dark

I graze my shins on gravel floors
While pushing my bike up to your front door
It’s all just kids’ stuff with more numbers
Take me high then let me down again

Pushing through the crowd
Like a crest on a wave
Oh white sea rolls over
And I’m playing it safe and
Making eyes from hands and knees
I’ll spend my whole life getting back on my feet
I’ll spend my whole life getting back on my feet

How many times do I have to say it
How many times do I have to fake it
It can’t take this much pain just to feel something
And every day’s the same and oh I feel it

Pushing through the crowd
Like a crest on a wave
Oh white sea rolls over
And I’m playing it safe and
Making eyes from hands and knees
I’ll spend my whole life getting back on my feet
I’ll spend my whole life getting back on my feet
I’ll spend my whole life getting back on my feet
I’ll spend my whole life getting back on my feet
