Hands in line
Arms close to my side
I'm fighting tides of an ocean's undertows
And I figure that I might not make it
And I'm taking empty
But seldom speaking
And the words retreat, yeah they breathing histories still at ease into stories untold
And my arms unfold.
My hands are high
And I'm holding on, holding on
But I figure that I just might make it
And I'm waking empty but seldom sleeping
And the words repeat breathing histories into stories untold
And I unfold.
See now, quality is what you see now in the corner of your eye.
And don't be surprised if you hear the bells ring as
They fall from the sky and they sound
Bong, bong, bong, bong (x2)
And I'm holding up (scatting)
because I figure that I
I figure that I just make it.
And I'm waking empty but seldom sleeping
And the words repeat breathing histories into stories untold
And I unfold.

Hands in line
Arms close to my side
I'm fighting tides of an ocean's undertows
And I figure that I might not make it
And I'm taking empty
But seldom speaking
And the words retreat, yeah they breathing histories still at ease into stories untold
And my arms unfold.
My hands are high
And I'm holding on, holding on
But I figure that I just might make it
And I'm waking empty but seldom sleeping
And the words repeat breathing histories into stories untold
And I unfold.
See now, quality is what you see now in the corner of your eye.
And don't be surprised if you hear the bells ring as
They fall from the sky and they sound
Bong, bong, bong, bong (x2)

And I'm waking empty but seldom sleeping
And the words repeat breathing histories into stories untold

I'm fighting tides of an ocean's undertows
And I figure that I might not make it
And I'm taking empty
But seldom speaking
And the words retreat, yeah they breathing histories still at ease into stories untold
And my arms unfold.
My hands are high
And I'm holding on, holding on
But I figure that I just might make it
And I'm waking empty but seldom sleeping
And the words repeat breathing histories into stories untold
And I unfold.
See now, quality is what you see now in the corner of your eye.
And don't be surprised if you hear the bells ring as
They fall from the sky and they sound
Bong, bong, bong, bong (x2)

I figure that I just make it.
And I'm waking empty but seldom sleeping
And the words repeat breathing histories into stories untold
