The Waking Life
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.
There's an anchor that's pulling on my heart,
And it's deep in the water but it can't take me down.
Tracin' faces with fingers and we're just the same as we were,
Just our eyes never found what I see now,
That my feet are on the ground.
Chorus:
Cause I'm not lost, just looking for footprints.
I'm taking it, one step at a time and I'm getting by.
By the way,
It's you on my mind,
It's you on my mind.
And here comes the night pulling puppet strings on my heart again,
Shows me all of this time I've been blind to this waking life.
Now I...see it everywhere.
Chorus:
Cause I'm not lost, just looking for footprints,
Yeah.
And I'm takin it, one day at a time and I'm gettin by.
By the way.
You're still on my mind,
You're still on my mind.
I...can't...see...you but I know you're here,
I, know you're here.
I, know you're here.
I'm not lost, just looking for footprints.

I'm taking it, one step at a time and I'm getting by.
By the way.
I'm not lost, just looking for footprints.
And I'm takin it, one step at a time and I'm gettin' by.
And you'll still on my,
Oh you're still on my mind,
You're still on my mind,
Oh you're still on my mind,
Oh you're still on my mind.
