Nada Surf - Animal lyrics

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 You gotta learn to cut losses And recognize new truths Or you'll never get anywhere that is of any use Sometimes you can't see the sea Even from a 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 Even so benign Could be you and I making toast I'm here because they call it falling And I fell so slow But I heard you calling But 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 I don't have much practice A 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 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
