Sinking

Sitting quietly watching the ticking on the wall

She sits patiently, she thinks maybe the world will fall

She says, "I feel at times like I had it and lost it all"

But there are walls are in her eyes

Waiting, she says, is the hardest thing to do

You don't feel like somebody else and you don't feel like you

Sometimes the light around me has the strangest hue

And I wonder what I'm going through

And she's on fire, and her whole world is burning

Yeah, she's on fire, and it feels like her whole world just keeps turning

She says, "I'm so full of doubt, I don't know if I'll ever find a way out

Feels like something I read in a book somewhere

I've been thinking, you know I've been thinking

I've thought myself into the ground, I've been thinking

That I'm sinking."

(Here we go)

Lonely I take through and my mind begins to soar (?)

She talked to anyone, so it's anyone she told

There's an empty chair at the end of an empty hall

And she feels small

Faces smile, she's moving through a crowd

The sun is shining but it's hiding a cloud

She laughs from time to time but she feels a little loud

And she would cry but she's too proud

And she's on fire and her whole world is burning

Yeah, she's on fire, and it feels like her whole world just keeps turning

She says, "I'm so full of doubt, I don't know if I'll ever find a way out

Feels like something I read in a book somewhere

I've been thinking, you know I've been thinking

I've thought myself into the ground, I've been thinking

That I'm sinking."

And you want to tell her that she's gonna be fine

And you want to tell her that the light hurts when you've been blind

She says "all I see stretching out before me is time"

She says, "All I see stretching out before me is time"

Oh, and you want to tell her that she's gonna be fine

Oh, woman, you're drinking your sorrows like wine, now

Ohhh, woman, don't you know that you're going to be fine?

Don't you know that you're going to be fine?
