If I Ever Feel Better
Pheonix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
It's like a bad day that never ends
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There are things in my life I can't control
They say love ain't nothing but a sore
I don't even know what love is
Too many tears have had to fall
Don't you know I'm so tired of it all
I have known terror dizzy spells
Finding out the secrets words won't tell
Whatever it is it can't be named
There's a part of my world that's fading away
You know I don't want to be clever
To be brilliant or superior
True like ice, true like fire
Now I know that a breeze can blow me away
Now I know there's much more dignity
In defeat than in the brightest victory
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
Hang on to the good days
I can lean on my friends
They help me going through hard times
But I'm feeding the enemy
I'm in league with the foe
Blame me for what's happening
I can't try, I can't try, I can't try...
No one knows the hard times I went through
If happiness came I miss the call
The stormy days ain't over
I've tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost
Now I've watched all my castles fall
They were made of dust, after all
Someday all this mess will make me laugh
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait...
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
It's like somebody took my place
I ain't even playing my own game
The rules have changed well I didn't know
There are things in my life I can't control
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There's a part of my life that will go away
Dark is the night, cold is the ground
In the circular solitude of my heart
As one who strives a hill to climb
I am sure I'll come through I don't know how
They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

They were made of dust, after all
All of my accomplishments were ultimately temporary and insignificant
Someday all this mess will make me laugh
One day, I will be able to find humor in the chaos of my life
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait...
I am eager for the day when I can find joy and laughter in my life once again

I don't feel like I am in control of my own life
The rules have changed well I didn't know
The expectations and standards for my life have changed without my knowledge or consent
There are things in my life I can't control
I realize that there are some aspects of my life that I have no power over
Dark is the night, cold is the ground
I am in a bleak and desolate emotional state
In the circular solitude of my heart
I am alone with my thoughts and feelings
As one who strives a hill to climb
I am working hard to overcome my difficulties
I am sure I'll come through I don't know how
I am confident that I will eventually overcome my struggles, even though I'm not sure how

What memories, I participated in this clip as appearing with my bike that I still have. You may see me on my red BMW with a gray helmet. I earned 150 euros to work two nights from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. and I took my work at 6:30 a.m. with the road on top, but it was so much good time that I do not regret ... Thank you for reading me to the end ... Regards to all ...
