Eels - On My Feet Lyrics






One, two, three
Two, two, three

I am a man
In great pain over
Great beauty
It's not easy
Standing on my feet
These days

But you know I'm pretty sure that
I've been through worse
And I'm sure I can take the hit

I pushed the bed against the window today
So there'd only be one side
Well, it's a little less lonely that way
But I'm still dying inside

When I wake up
In the middle of the night
No one's gonna tell me
I'll be all right

So many thousands
Of days in my life
That I don't remember
And a small handful
Of days that I do
Hold near to my heart

And one of those days
That I remember well
Is about me and you

When it's time
To look back on my life
Most of it won't seem so important
The shit that matters
And what I'll really miss
Is falling asleep with your arms around me

Waking up knowing that you're there
Making everything feel right in the world

People sleeping
In Hazmat suits
Taping up their windows
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world
And it's hard to make any sense of it

But one thing I know that is true in this world
Is the love that I felt for you

Being on my feet these days
Well, it's a wonder I survive
No one taught me how to live on my own
I'm running scared

One sweet day I'll be back on my feet
And I'll be all right

I just gotta get
Back on my feet

    No one really teach you to grow up: it's the magic and the tragic of life.

    Thank you, mr. Eels.

    i didnt like eels at all but what ive heared from this album so far has changed my mind, so many songwriters write good songs but there is just that little bit more thuth in these songs than in every song ive heared before
    its still the same old story but this time it touches me

  22. V.... ....

    Why bands such eels never get on the top of the lists? It is so so sad.

  23. r.... ....

    @digitalmolskine I'm 16 and E just blows my mind.
