Animal

Well I used to get high

And dance all around the house

Cleaning rearranging

While I’d let it all out

Those happy times I’d say to myself

This is it don’t stop

All will be well

If you only never stop the clock

Gotta learn to cut losses

And recognise new truths

Or you’ll never get anywhere that is of any use

Sometimes you can’t see the sea

Even from the boat

So whatever hints you get

You better hurry and take note

I’m here because I knew that this time I’d be haunted

Visited by peaceful ghosts who knew what I really wanted

Here’s hoping I could be you and I make a toast

I’m here because they call it foreign

And I felt so slow but I heard you calling

Now you’re gone and you’re all I want

I forgot that’s what people do

They pair off two by two

Until one of them turns blue

Don’t have much practice in really needing someone

So I need you to show me how it can be sensibly done

‘Cause I need you like a string needs a kite to get to the sky

I look for the sound of the wind to put in my headphones

To help these walls dissolve take me to another zone

‘Cause I’m an animal and I have one life

You’re an animal and you have one life
