  • Some days, feels my soul has left my body
    Feel I'm floating high above me
    Like I'm looking down upon me
    Start sinking, every time I get to thinking
    It's easier to keep on moving
    Never stop to let the truth in

    Sometimes I feel like it's all been done
    Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one
    Sometimes I wanna change everything I've ever done
    I'm too tired to fight and yet too scared to run

    And if I stop for a minute
    I think about things I really don't wanna know
    And I'm the first to admit it
    Without you I'm a liner stranded in an ice floe

    I feel like a thief who has no faith
    Maybe more than by the grade
    Of the drugs he took that day

    Sinking, in the pain he's been inflicting
    Yet he's feeling like the victim
    Just a horoscope's to blame

    Sometimes I feel like a little lost child
    Sometimes I feel like the chosen one
    Sometimes I wanna shout out 'til everything goes quiet
    Sometimes I wonder why I was ever born

    And if I stop for a minute
    I think about things I really don't wanna know
    And I'm the first to admit it
    Without you I'm child
    And so wherever you go, I will follow

    Ugh, yeah
    And baby you are just beautiful
    From crown to your cuticles
    You held down with two sons
    You never frown when duty calls
    You know me, I gave you more than you can handle
    But you still keep a handle on it
    Even when I take something beautiful and vandal on it
    No more females
    Well how come my emails got notes on a scandal
    It's like Eve with the apple
    A priest in a chapel
    Overcome by the devil's tackle
    I'm still shackled in the battle
    I know, I'm such a hassle
    Every time I let me thoughts go
    I get baffled
    So I hardly pause
    I just crossed z's with these gnarly broads
    Cause it hurts me just to see what I finally lost
    So I guess I'm just a fiend
    Consumed by the scene
    The stage and the screen where it's just me and Keane

    And if I stop for a minute
    I think about things I really don't wanna know
    (So I guess I'm just a fiend, consumed by the scene)
    And I'm the first to admit it
    Without you I'm a liner stranded in an ice floe
