Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you drag yourself along somehow
Through dark dreams of that visit you in the night
Obscure fragments with broad daylight
Watch me now
What did you say about what I've done
What do you want to know, why or how come?
Back and forth and around, here it comes again
CHORUS
Watch me now
And I'll lift you up if I can
Watch me now
You're eyes are wild and your nerves exposed
But you haven't lost anything, not by a mile, not yet
Can yo uremember the good times
They can be back soon, better than before
