now
Ball and Pivot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just gotta say
i've been feeling down
And I gotta pray
Because my soul and my heart
Is not the same
What have we done to each other
I have realised
That through these tough times
I don't feel alive
My mind is blank
And my body's full of lies
what have we done to each other
I see now
You don't want me back
Free me now
And put my life back on track
I don't know
How I will feel like me again
I see now, I see now
I see now
I just gotta think
For myself
I was on the brink
Of losing my health
What have we done to each other
Soon you'll realise
You did nothing wrong
It was just my mind
Im sorry but I tried
What have we done to each other
I see now
You don't want me back
Free me now
And put my life back on track
I don't know
How I will feel like me again
I see now, I see now
I'm walking, around my head
I'm falling, can't catch my breath
I'm drowning, in this stress
God take this pain
I'm walking, around my head
I'm falling, can't catch my breath
I'm drowning, in this stress
God take this pain
I see now
You don't want me back
Free me now
And put my life back on track
I don't know
How I will feel like me again
I see now, I see now
I see now
You don't want me back
Free me now
And put my life back on track
I don't know




How I will feel like me again
I see now, I see now

Rip Gene Gilmartin, took lessons from him in that practice space in Kenmore Square. Great player and a super nice guy. Wonder what happened, tragic to pass away young. Great memories of the 80s with your tunes.

I miss my friend.

Groove on this song! Too young to have seen these guys live, but there was always V66! If Duran Duran wasn't so clean cut, they MAY have been Ball And Pivot....!
