Fumble

Sometimes I just amaze myself
With how happy that... how happy that I am
Sometimes I just debase myself
With how happy that... how happy that I am
Sometimes you don't know how down you are
'Til the friendly little hands just all let go
Sometimes you don't know how down you are
'Til you hit the ground and slowly blow apart
And all the little pieces scatter
Melting hard into the floor

Take away the safety net
'Cause when Johnny cuts the tight rope
It's sink or swim, sink or swim
Take away the safety net
'Cause when Johnny cuts the tight rope
It's sink or swim, sink or swim

God, I wish I could be like you
Laugh and cry and know just what I feel
But every little slight cuts through me
like a block of ice pressed hard against my skin
Touching your hand is everything
But touching me means nothing to you now
God, I wish I could be like you
God, I wish I could be
God, I wish I could be like you
God, I wish I was just like you

Take away the safety net
'Cause when Johnny cuts the tight rope
It's sink or swim, sink or swim
Take away the safety net
'Cause when Johnny cuts the tight rope
It's sink or swim, sink or swim

God, I wish I could be like you...
