On My Feet Songtext
von EELS

On two
One, two, three
Two

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 shit 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 all alone
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
