Back On My Feet Lyrics - Singles - Glen Phillips

I've been angry 

And I have strayed 

I said words i never thought that I could say 

You were sadly sweet 

Like an old bar song (or a Wilco song) 

But I'll be back up on my feet before too long 

You could say you wanted me 

If I said it first 

Words rang hollow 

And the emptiness became a thirst 

Now I could drink those words 

And they would make me strong 

I'd be back up on my feet before too long 

I'd be back up on my feet before too long 

Before too long 

If you'd met me now 

You never would have stuck around 

No, you never would have stuck around 

So I will lay me down 

By the salty sea 

And let the water pull the sand over my body 

To wash me clean 

Like a river stone 

And I'll be back up on my feet before too long 

Yeah, I'll be back up on my feet before too long 

Back on my feet 

Back up on my feet 

Back on my feet 

Back on my feet
