Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately I've been feeling gray
A little less human
A little less human
A little less human
Lately I've been feeling gray
A little less human
A little less human
A little less human

Thinking about the ways I used to like to be
Maybe some day well create some harmony
Thinking 'bout a way to get all that i want
Maybe one day you could be the one
Lady come on
Lately I've been feeling gray
A little less human
A little less human
A little less human
(maybe I'm a bit less)
Lately I've been feeling gray
A little less human
A little less human
A little less human
Lately I've been feeling gray
A little less human
A little less human
A little less human
Lately I've been feeling gray
A little less human
A little less human

A little less human
(maybe I'm a bit less)
