Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have two eyes but I cannot see
I have a heart but I cannot feel anything
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
I got a mouth but it doesn't say

The things I want it to say today, anyway
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
Life's just an ugly mess
The angry souls in such distress

Still, there is a time when moments can be sweet
And it feels like someone's smiling down on me
Sometimes it feels like I'm all alone
Most of the time, actually, I am alone

That's alright
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
If I had a million bucks it wouldn't matter
'Cause my soul's always climbing a ladder

Oh, I know
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
Life's just an ugly mess
The angry souls in such distress

Still, there is a time when moments can be sweet




And it feels like someone's smiling down on me
Alright
