Back On My Feet

Glen Phillips · Glen Philips: Abulum [2006]

I've been angry and I have strayed



I said words I never thought that I could say



And you were sad and sweet like a Wilco song



I'll be back upon my feet before too long



You could say you wanted me



If I said it first words rang hollow



And the emptiness became a thirst



Now I could drink those words



They would make me strong



I'd be back upon my feet before too long



I'd be back upon my feet before too long, before too long



If you'd met me now you never would have stuck around



No, you never would have stuck around



So I will lay me down by the salty sea



And let the water pull the sand over my body



To wash me clean like a river stone



I'd be back upon my feet before too long



Yeah, I'd be back upon my feet before too long



Back on my feet, back upon my feet, back on my feet
