alright

the days get longer here the longer you're away
i fill them with my fears, and with my thoughts of what you'll say
and i telegraph my dreams to you, though they break down on the line
and i lie through my polished teeth when i say that i'm fine

i am only keeping it together
i am only just getting through the night
i am only getting some perspective
understanding what it is i mean when i say i'm alright

i'm losing focus but i'm living every day
i lose my train of thought but i don't think i've lost my way
though i swear i choke myself sometimes with the things that i won't say
the ocean sweeps my thoughts to shore but gets deeper every day

i am only keeping it together
i am only just getting through the night
i am only getting some perspective
understanding what it is i mean when i say i'm alright

can you show me how to open up my mouth
'cos i am learning how to open up my open my eyes
seeing things that i don't want to see
seeing things i don't want to believe

i am only keeping it together
i am only just getting through the night
i am only getting some perspective
understanding what it is i mean when i say i'm alright.
