My Uptight Life Lyrics

the morning sun opens up my eyes
what i see is the same world i know you're seeing
my dreams are real until i realise
realising's a slow fade from thought to being
the waking world is full of cynics' sighs
cynicism's a box i don't want to be in
i'll stay in bed until i stabilize

i try to write this song
to move my life along
i know what I dream of
i'll save my life for love

hidden meanings don't need to hide
when i hide from the world you're the one who'll find me
they don't need screening from the world outside
if the truth's overdue i know you'll remind me
if the truth police are sniffing out a lie
i've done nothing in life i can't put behind me
i'll use my life as an alibi

meaning is something i got from you
whenever i lost the plot you knew
what is it i haven't got
when I've got you

all my life i felt so uptight
now it's all right.

All my life, I've felt so uptight now it's all alright (x infinity) But that's alright.
