Funny - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Funny how it disappears the second you give in

When the world comes to terms with the way that it spins

Funny how you rearrange, how your mind begins to change

Hold yourself a little tighter in the arms of your old age

And when nothing else is working and the air is gettin' thin

I will hold on like the first time, feel the pulse beneath my skin

I can feel it

I know it's true

I can't heal

What I hold on to

I wish I could make the promise

I am this and nothing more

But there's a holiness in finding I was something else before

And I held my head in water

Like I wasn't scared to drown

Like I knew when it was over

I'd be finished looking down

And am I someone you believe in?

Can I trust what I can see?

I am still alive and breathing

You won't take the rest of me

I can feel it

I know it's true

I can't heal

What I hold on to

Give me a minute

I need another quiet day

My hands are shaking in the worst way

Give me a minute or two

Maybe a year would be enough

I'm still deciding if it's worth it

For all this stuff

I can feel it

I know it's true

I can't heal

What I hold on to

Give me a minute or two

Maybe a year would be enough

I'm still deciding if it's worth it
