The Songs That Got Away

Verse 1
I am staring at the stars like Better Than Ezra
I have always been sober
I get lonely like Janet Jackson
I feel dizzy
So I will wait like Hootie & The Blowfish
I feel weightless
And like Tom Cochrane, I wonder if things will change

Verse 2
Like Chumbawumba, I have never been
At the top of the world
Sometimes life's a b-i-t-c-h
That's when I feel like a black balloon about to burst
But if I turn things inside out
The way Eve 6 did
I may be able to lay down
I may be able to breathe

Bridge
South of me, there's an invisible man
Who claims he's not an addict
With my naked eye
I see that everything is different now
I have been telling stories which everybody knows
My bones and joints are aching
This pain just can't last anymore

Chorus
The songs that got away are returning to me
For some time I forget about them
Now I remember each one
