Feel

“Feel”
written by Glen Phillips and/or Todd Nichols
Because I feel alive
and fear could make me blind,
leave the door unlocked
throw the curtains wide
because I feel alive

and I’ll save my final breath
until I make sure I’m laughing with it

I’ve been drunk, I’ve been half asleep
I’ve been cold and lying through my teeth
I’ve been falling under
if you knew all that I have been
would you laugh or would you take me in

desire runs so deep
to close my eyes and sleep
I’m not able to, I just can’t deny
because I feel alive

I’ve fallen down before
and I’ll fuck up some more
but that’s what life is for,
believe me

I’ve been drunk, I’ve been half asleep
I’ve been cold and lying through my teeth
I’ve been falling under
if you knew all that I have been
would you laugh or would you take me in

would you take me in

And one Fall day it took a hold of itself

and trial by fire, she came through the other end

and I won’t ever never…
(want, once, or watch) ___ a single man

I’ve been drunk, I’ve been half asleep
I’ve been cold and lying through my teeth
what a motherfucker
leave this bastard, find another
if you knew all that I have been
would you laugh or would you take me in
would you take me in

would you take me in
you took me, took me in
