Songtexte: Eels. End Times. On My Feet.
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 alright
So many thousands of my days that I don't remember
But a small handful of days that I do, I 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 or love
I'm running scared
One sweet day I'll be back on my feet
And I'll be alright
I just got to get back on my feet
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 alright
So many thousands of my days that I don't remember
But a small handful of days that I do, I 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 or love
I'm running scared
One sweet day I'll be back on my feet
And I'll be alright
I just got to get back on my feet
