[Verse 1]

I'm feeling calm, but I’m never relaxed

I feel it coming, but I'm holding it back

I'm on the edge, but I never attack

I’m straight off the moment

But I still come back like that

I'm a strong man, weaker than I once was

Weed and bramble, still hard to handle

I can hold my own, if you need me

I'm standing here, can you see me?


[Chorus]

Sometimes I'm standing where I wanna be

Sometimes I hate you, but you feel so nice

I know you think I'm gone, but I'm all in

Don't get me wrong

Sometimes I know I'm gonna lose it

I’m all caught up, I’m faking

Without you I'd be gone

Don’t get me wrong, don't get me wrong


[Verse 2]

I got a past, but it's present tense

I keep it covered like it's rubber cement

I got a side that you ain’t seen yet

I know I'm looking dry, but I'm feeling soaking wet

I'm a razor, walking on a tight thread

A contradiction stranger than the fiction

I'm flying, blind, but I can see you

Don't run away, I still need you


[Chorus]

Sometimes I'm standing where I wanna be

Sometimes I hate you, but you feel so nice

I know you think I'm gone, but I'm all in

Don't get me wrong

Sometimes I know I'm gonna lose it

I'm all caught up, I'm faking

Without you I'd be gone

Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong


[Bridge]

Now can you hear me?

Say how you're feeling

We'll tie all the lines we've drawn

And let's just hold on


[Chorus]

Sometimes I'm standing where I wanna be

Sometimes I hate you, but you feel so nice

I know you think I'm gone, but I'm all in

Don't get me wrong

Sometimes I know I'm gonna lose it

I'm all caught up, I'm faking

Without you I'd be gone

Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong
