hospital
awfultune Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm trapped inside my mind
With no way out, no concept of time
It's just me, myself and I
I though I was doing fine
Without you, slowly sipping on my wine
I guess happiness is just something I can't find
So pick me up, pick me up, pick me up, pick me up
When you're feeling down
I'll be in the hospital, if you wanna come around
I was just your pick me up, pick me up, pick me up, pick me up
It didn't even count
So I'll be in the hospital, if you wanna come around
I wish I could climb the walls
'Cause I don't feel nothing at all
I know if I could fly
Or if I even try I'm gonna fall
Fill all my wounds with salt
I'm not the sea but you can hear me call
What if I'm left here forever?
No more time together
I think this room is getting small
I hope you pick me up, pick me up, pick me up, pick me up
When you're feeling down
I'll be in the hospital, if you wanna come around
But I was just your pick me up, pick me up, pick me up, pick me up
It didn't even count




So I'll be in the hospital, if you wanna come around
If you wanna come around

I want to lay down in the cemetary and let go of what I've been bottling up. I want to be in the hospital and let the memories flow through my mind and heart. I want to fly in the sky and just drift away into the wind.
