When I meet my expectations
When I find myself in luck
Half my head in water
Half my heart into the ground
I've got the blood
I've got the stone
I've got the girl to twirl around
You say you're scared of what
tomorrow will bring to your child
You know sometimes it kills to be alive
You are where you work
You are who you make
You are what you dream
You dream you're awake
Awake in a house that you made
Awake in a flurry, today.
When I'm backed into a corner
When I find myself in port
When I'm forced to make decisions
When I'm left with giving up
Half my hand in the jar
Half my foot on the scale
I've got to get back to Chicago
I've found it never fails
You say you're scared of what tomorrow
Will bring to you, child
You know sometimes it kills to be alive
You are where you work
You are who you make
You are what you dream
You dream you're awake
Awake in a house that you made
Awake in a flurry, today.
