Lyrics

Paralysed

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'll wait for someone to tell me what I already know

And I'll wait for my grip to fail me then I'll just let it go

She's so hard to please so I just freeze

Nailed down by whispers, looks and sighs

And I'm so paralysed, I am so paralysed

I wait for you to disown me when you leave I won't look

I wait for someone to phone me with the phone off the hook

I get up to leave but I just deceive

You all the time pretending I'm

So paralysed, I'm so paralysed

I'm so paralysed, I'm just paralysed

I wait for mistakes to happen so I can't put them right

I wait for someone to latch on, but no-one's that bright

I say it can't be done, let's turn and run

Completely normal in my own eyes

To be so paralysed

Got the fear of falling from a great height

Can't open my parachute stiff with fright

I woke up naked in the high street

With lead boots on both feet

I was paralysed I'm so paralysed

I'm so paralysed

She's so hard to please so I just freeze

Nailed down by whispers, looks and sighs

And I'm so paralysed, I am so paralysed

Got me so paralysed, I'm so paralysed

I am so paralyse, I am so paralysed
