Eels - On My Feet lyrics

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 sh** 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
