Lyrics Glen Phillips

Glen Phillips

Back On My Feet

I've been angry and I have strayed

I said words I never thought that I could say

And you were sad and sweet like a Wilco song

I'll be back upon 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

They would make me strong

I'd be back upon my feet before too long

I'd be back upon 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

I'd be back upon my feet before too long

Yeah, I'd be back upon my feet before too long

Back on my feet, back upon my feet, back on my feet
