Personal

This is my favorite song off It's All in Your Head. It has a nice instrumental introduction and begins a bit soft, but quickly becomes heavy with a lot of energy. It's all about being bored, depressed, and alone, but realizing that, because you still want better things for yourself, you're going to do okay. All you need is to do is tell yourself you're going to be all right, self-medicate, have a nap, and figure out where you went wrong.

Lyrics

When do we get to the part where I can go home,
Been hiding inside the jungle gym for way too long
Waiting for someone to come along and find me.
Live in an apartment that bums me out
It don't get better when the lights go out
Waiting for someone to come along and find me.
Swimming through the aisles at the grocery store
I don't even know what I'm lookin' for, I'm
Waiting for someone to come along and find me.

At least I'm breathin'
At least I am alive
As long as I'm dreamin'
Everything's gonna be all right.

Down to the corner to call collect
Your mother wants to know are you happy yet
Waiting for someone to come along and find you.
Going out at night looking for distraction
Sleeping through the day there's no redemption
Waiting for someone to come along and find you.

At least you're breathin'
At least you're alive
As long as you're dreamin'
Everything's gonna be all right.
See everything's gonna be all right.

Yo, I'm all right, I tell myself twice
In the mirror before I can't go to sleep at night.
I need a lullaby, I need some time,
I need to get a dime bag from my guy.

I'm all right, I tell myself twice
In the mirror before I can't go to sleep at night.
I need a lullaby, I need some time
I need to get a dime bag from my guy.

At least we're breathin'
At least we're alive
As long as we're dreamin'
Everything's gonna be all,
Everything's gonna be all... right.

I'm all right, I tell myself twice
In the mirror before I can't go to sleep at night.
I need a lullaby, I need some time
I need to get a dime bag from my guy

I'm all right, I tell myself twice
In the mirror before I can't go to sleep at night.
I need a lullaby, I need some time
I need to find my way back home.
I need to find my way back home.

I need to get a dime bag from my guy.
