Stop for a minute

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Some days feel my soul has left my body
Feel it floating high above me
Like I’m looking down upon me
(uh-o-uh, uh-o-uh)

Start sinking
Every time I get to thinking
It’s easier to keep on moving
Never stop to let the truth in
(uh-o-uh, uh-o-uh)

Sometimes I feel like it’s all been done
Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one
Sometimes I wanna change everything I’ve ever done
I’m too tired to fight and yet too scared to run

And if I stop for a minute,
I think about things I really don’t wanna know
And I’m the first to admit it
Without you I’m a liner stranded in an ice flow

Yeah

I feel
Like a thief who has no faith
(Maybe more than … grade?)
Of the drugs he took that day
(uh-o-uh, uh-o-uh)

Sinking
In the pain he’s been inflicting
Yet he’s feeling like a victim
Just the horoscope’s to blame
(uh-o-uh, uh-o-uh)

Sometimes I feel like a little lost child
Sometimes I feel like the chosen one
Sometimes I wanna shout out till everything goes quiet
Sometimes I wonder why I was ever born

And if I stop for a minute,
I think about things I really don’t wanna know
And I’m the first to admit it
Without you I’m a child, and so
Wherever you go - I will follow

Baby, you are just beautiful
From crown to your cuticles
You held down my two sons,
You never frown when duty calls
You know me,
I gave you more than you can handle
But you still keep a handle on it
Even when I take something beautiful and vandal on it
No more females?
Well how come my e-mails got notes on a scandal
It’s like Eve with the apple
A priest in the chapel
Overcome by the devil’s tackle
I’m still shackled

And if I stop for a minute,
I think about things I really don’t wanna know
(So I guess I’m just a fiend, consumed by the scene)
And I’m the first to admit it
Without you I’m a liner stranded in an ice flow
(The stage and the screen (… ?) it’s just me and Keane)

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
