I’m not sure what I’ll bring this time
I’m barely alive, barely alive
I’m not sure what I’ll sing this time
I’m barely alive...

I was flying high on something when I hit the ground
Now I am dragging ‘round this earth
If I’d only watched the stars, I might have been around
I might have been the one to see you first

It’s a simple explanation, it’s coincidence
Maybe blessing, maybe chance
But the planets are aligned for indifference
That leaves me stuck inside this trance
Yes, I’m stuck inside your trance

(And) I’m not sure what I’ll bring this time
I’m barely alive, barely alive
I’m not sure what I’ll sing this time
I’m barely alive...

Taking it in stages, modest then courageous
I care, then I don’t, but I do
It could be better if I pull myself together
And give all of the pieces to you...this time...

I wonder if I’ll ever break through your barbican
Or have the strength to climb your tower?
I’d like [bad word] on strong, to be like Superman
If I ever find my power
Heaven help you, baby, if I ever find my power

Taking it in stages, modest then courageous
I care, then I don’t, but I do
I wanna make it better, I wanna pull myself together
And give all of the pieces to you...this time...

I’m not sure what I’ll bring this time
I’m barely alive, barely alive
I’m not sure what I’ll sing this time
I’m barely alive...
