Animal - Nada Surf

Well I used to get high

And dance all around the house

Cleaning rearranging

While I’d let it all out

Those happy times I’d say to myself

This is it don’t stop

All will be well

If you only never stop the clock

You gotta learn to cut losses

And recognize new truths

Or you’ll never get anywhere that is of any use

Sometimes you can’t see the sea

Even from a boat

So whatever hints you get

You better hurry and take note

I’m here because I knew that this time

I’d be haunted

Visited by peaceful ghosts

Who knew what I really wanted

Even so benign

Could be you and I making toast

I’m here because they call it falling

And I fell so slow

But I heard you calling

But now you’re gone

And you’re all I want

I forgot that’s what people do

They pair off two by two

Until one of them turns blue

I don’t have much practice

A really needing someone

So I need you to show me how

It can be sensibly done

'Cause I need you like

A string needs a kite

To get to the sky

I look for the sound of wind

To put in my headphones

To help these walls dissolve

Take me to another zone

'Cause I’m an animal

And I have one life

You’re an animal

And you have one life
