Stripes Lyrics

Eyes blinking

At the wall

Somehow unafraid to fall

In my head there's a melody long since passed

Head aching

Throat sore

But I don't mind anymore

Seems I've gotten pretty good at moving right on past

And I don't remember when I fell asleep or what I dreamed

The sun's already pretty high

But there's something familiar about the way the yellow beams

Are falling in stripes

I've never

Felt the same

Maybe I'm to blame

Or maybe some things are just better when they leave

And I'm better

And I think

In spite of all that's made me sink

Better things are coming to a better me

And I don't remember why I was so afraid

And I don't care why

But the sky's getting bluer and bluer every day

And the clouds are moving in stripes

And I don't remember when I fell asleep or what I dreamed

The sun's already pretty high

But there's something familiar about the way the yellow beams

Are falling

I got up way too early

You got up too late that's fine

Cause I swear from now on I'm making up for our lost time

I don't know what lies in store

But I know it's better than before

So forget all the needless times we cried

I only need a little time

To reconvene

A little time to fly

And wipe the record clean

You said it yourself

We'll be okay

Things are looking up on this January day

And I don't remember when I fell asleep or what I dreamed

The sun's already pretty high

But there's something familiar about the way the yellow beams

Are falling in stripes

Falling in
