Lyrics Animal - Nada Surf

Well I used to get high
And dance all around the house
Cleaning rearranging
While I'd let it all out
Those happy times I'd say to myself
This is it don't stop
All will be well
If you only never stop the clock
Gotta learn to cut losses
And recognise new truths
Or you'll never get anywhere that is of any use
Sometimes you can't see the sea
Even from the boat
So whatever hints you get
You better hurry and take note
I'm here because I knew that this time I'd be haunted
Visited by peaceful ghosts who knew what I really wanted
Here's hoping I could be you and I make a toast
I'm here because they call it foreign
And I felt so slow but I heard you calling
Now you're gone and you're all I want
I forgot that's what people do
They pair off two by two
Until one of them turns blue
Don't have much practice in really needing someone
So I need you to show me how it can be sensibly done
'Cause I need you like a string needs a kite to get to the sky
I look for the sound of the wind to put in my headphones
To help these walls dissolve take me to another zone
'Cause I'm an animal and I have one life
You're an animal and you have one life
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do
