lyrics

I got ill
I got better
I'm not everything you want
I've got problems with my confidence
And hope that just won't die without a cause

Now that I have closed my eyes
and opened my mind
You and your friends may have learnt how to fly
but I'm learning how to breathe
quite clearly

Summertime and winter, too:
Reflected by you
Down in the dumps or else up in the sky
I never quite found the ground
but nearly

Caught on the breeze
of my own ways and means
I was never quite found at home

Under the seeds
of the time-twisted trees
I was never quite found at home

I get carried away
I get carried away...

I got ill
I got better
I'm not everything you want
I've got problems with my confidence
And hope that just won't die without a cause
when you're lost
and there's nothing you can do
at least you know where you should be
In the sky
In the soil
You find you're still breathing

I got shoes
I got socks
I've got everything I need
I've got 16 hours of daylight
and hope that just won't die without a cause

Get high, get high,
Get high, get high...

Now that I have closed my eyes
and opened my mind
You and your friends may have learnt how to fly
but I'm learning how to breathe
quite clearly

I got ill
I got better
I'm not everything you want
I've got problems with my confidence
And hope that just won't die without a cause
when you're lost
and there's nothing you can do
at least you know where you should be
In the sky
In the soil
You find you're still breathing

I got shoes
I got socks
I've got everything I need
I've got 16 hours of daylight
and hope that just won't die without a cause

Now that I have closed my eyes
and opened my mind...
