Lyrics
I told you that I was afraid
That I would have a bad trip fall asleep and never wake
They told me back at school that it would happen
I believed it 'til I didn't
I told you that I was afraid
Of stating my opinion in a clear and honest way
They told me in my youth it wasn't needed
Some thoughts are best deleted
And everyone agreed it
I don't know what I'm getting up for (I don't know, I don't know)
I don't know what I'm getting up for
I'm not getting taller anymore
So, when I fall it's always the same distance as before
You'd think that I'd learn to anticipate it
By the millionth time I ate it
I told you that I wasn't scared
That even if I fractured every bone I didn't care
I never told a lie so confidently
But you let me down so gently
The concrete barely bent me
I don't know what I'm getting up for (I don't know, I don't know)
I don't know what I'm getting up for
One more year, then I'll look at the score (I don't know, I don't know)
I don't know what I'm getting up for
Kindly tell me a lie
Will you look me in the eye
And say it'll all be alright in the end?
Kindly tell me a lie
Will you cross your heart and hope to die
It'll all be alright in the end?
Kindly tell me a lie
Will you look me in the eye
And say it'll all be alright in the end?
Kindly tell me a lie
Will you cross your heart and hope to die?
Cross your heart and hope to die
Cross your heart and hope to die
I told you that I was afraid
That everyone around holds me in some secret disdain
That I was held a fool so far deluded (a fool so far deluded)
You told me that was stupid
But could never really prove it
I don't know what I'm getting up for (I don't know, I don't know)
I don't know what I'm getting up for
One more year, then I'll look at the score (I don't know, I don't know)
I don't know what I'm getting up for
I don't know what I'm getting up for (I told you that I was afraid)
I don't know what I'm getting up for (I told you that I was afraid)
One more year, then I'll look at the score
I don't know what I'm getting up for
