My Uptight Life Lyrics - Howdy! - Teenage Fanclub

The morning sun opens up my eyes 

What I see is the same world I know you're seeing 

My dreams are real until I realize 

Realizing's a slow fade from thought to being 

The waking world is full of cynics' sighs 

Cynicism's a box I don't want to be in 

I'll stay in bed until I stabilize 

I try to write this song 

To move my life along 

I know what I dream of 

I'll save my life for love 

Hidden meanings don't need to hide 

When I hide from the world you're the one who'll find me 

They don't need screening from the world outside 

If the truth's overdue I know you'll remind me 

If the truth police are sniffing out a lie 

I've done nothing in life I can't put behind me 

I'll use my life as an alibi 

Meaning is something I got from you 

Whenever I lost the plot you knew 

What is it I haven't got 

When I've got you
