Awake on the wrong side,
I keep my head up,
it's when I'm likely to lose you.
Awake in a rough tide,
beneath a raging moon.
And when on the short side,
I never mean bad,
it's just I'm likely to lose my cool.
I'm working on avoiding
that part of me all together, man
I swear I am.
It's not often
that I feel the earth
shift beneath my feet
and push me toward the street
where wet clay awaits me
and my dry hands
in an attempt to understand
break off and turn to
sand piles in the sun
where it burns to step on.
so I sit on trains
for most of the day
and get home later.
I sit on trains
for most of the day
and get home later,
and i catch myself
when i talk out loud-
(could you keep it down?)
now there's all these people around.
So I sweep up the words
that I spilled on the floor,
and I throw on my coat
and I walk toward the door
but I tend to turn around
at the slightest of sounds,
I could flee the scene,
but I'll sniff the ground.
Awake on the wrong side,
I keep my head up,
it's when I'm likely to lose you.
Awake in a rough tide,
beneath a raging moon.
And when on the short side,
I never mean bad,
it's just I'm likely to lose my cool.
I'm working on avoiding
that part of me all together, man
I swear I am.
when I wake up
you know I keep my head up.
I guess time makes you tired
gets you falling asleep at the wheel.
Stretch lies to decide if your
next move calls for me.
