High on getting by

[loraline]

High on getting by

You’re here with me, physically
But in your head you’re a million miles away from me
I can see
There is something that ain’t right
But you won’t open up or let me in
I ask you if it is me or if it is something else
Something said, something that I’ve done

So I retrace my steps. recount my words
I don’t recall
What could have made you close right in and hide away
Assure me that you‘re fine
The words don’t comfort me or make me feel
The way I used to feel when I was there with you

We used to get high on just getting by
now something ain’t real and I don’t know what to feel
sitting here with you
I just don’t know you anymore

You’re faulting me excessively
hold me up against everyone else you know
good or bad

I let you down
but you don’t seem to realize, compromise
a two- way situation
right before your eyes no disguise
I’m trying to sort things out

But I soon realize
That In your eyes
the spark that used to light my day*
is fading fast, deep within
A candle with a rain cloud hanging overhead
Set to burst
I’m hoping and I pray it passes over, over

We used to get high on just getting by
Now something ain’t real but I don’t know what to feel
sitting here with you I just don’t know you anymore

*little note on the side... thnx John for the correction

Oh my... Luckly I've not posted what I got from this song! I wrote something like: ...You're avoiding me seasonly... LOL!

Thank you!!! ;D


And talking about the song itself, I adore it all. The music is awesome, I love the final solo, oooohhh...

[Jade]

Thank you for posting the lyric, loraline!!!

I'm with you, Lucy, I too love this song... for the music, the words and John's beautiful, haunting vocals. I think it's one of those that really have the potential to be a big hit.

Thanks for posting! I always thought it said "the spark that used to light my day" though.

[Lucy]

I thought it was "the spark I used to like" too...
