No More Keeping My Feet on the Ground Lyrics
Sometimes I wake up and I'm falling asleep
I think that maybe the curtains are closing on me
But I wake up
Yes I wake up smiling
Sometimes I feel oh the charge is surprising
Surprisingly good to be moving around
So I wake up
Yes I wake up smiling
So what? I feel fine
I'm OK
I've seen the lighter side of life
I'm alright
I feel good
So I'll go
I'll try and stop moving
Sometimes I wake up and I'm falling asleep
But I've got to get going so much that I'm wanting to do
But I wake up
Smiling
And this could be my last chance
Of saving my innocence
And this could be my last chance
No more keeping my feet on the ground
Sometimes I feel oh the charge is surprising
Surprisingly good to be moving around
And I move
I wake up smiling
So what? I feel fine
I feel OK, I've seen the lighter side of life
I'm alright, I feel good
So I'll go, well it's time to stop moving
And this could be my last chance
Of saving my innocence
And this could be my last chance
So no more keeping my feet on the ground
I'm not gonna keep on
I'm not gonna keep on the
I'm not gonna keep on
I'm not gonna keep on the ground
This song seems like an older version of Clocks - particularly the opening lyrics ... "sometimes I wake up and I'm falling asleep" remind me of "lights go out and I can't be saved." I don't know why - they just do.
But the song is a bit ironic. Even though he's happy where he is, he's restless ... wants to get moving, take his chances. In wone breath, it's all "no more keeping my feet on the ground" and in the next, it's "i'm not gonna keep on moving."
It's all very paradoxical. And well written.
I agree with you completely, pyramusthis. This someone is happy where they are, yet are restless despite. It sounds as if they're battling with themself inside, something we can all relate to.
This song is inspirational, because here is this person who thinks the "curtains are closing on [them]" and yet they still wake up smiling, wanting to move on because "this could be [their] last chance of saving [their] innocence". Yet, what Pyramusthis says is accurate, because the person says, "So what? I feel fine," yet it seems like a false way of giving oneself hope and trying to convince oneself that they are, indeed, fine. It is indeed a contradiction in itself, yet the way that the song sounds blindly to the ear is absolutely inspirational.
I Adore this song . I have my own interpretation of the lyrics : " Sometimes I wake up and I'm falling asleep I think that maybe the curtains are falling on me"
That is while totally awake, his brain kind of "shuts down" and he is off to another world . I mean, everybody has his or her own problems and "gotta get going", yet pressing the pause button can make him smile . It helps him to "start moving on" again .
But soon innocence desapear, it's all an illusion and he has to go back to the real world, the active life .
I like this song. It was kind of hard to find though. The "Yellow" single is a great CD. Although it only has 3 songs. I like the way this song sounds and it makes me feel good when I am stressed sometimes.
this song has an amazing feel to it, i love it.
