Lyrics Paul Weller

Paul Weller

Frightened

I shake and fall underneath my sheets

The sunlight creeping from my head down to my feet

Telling me to rise and face the light again

I plead to dawn, "Don't make me move"

I just want to vanish and forget all that's true

Just one more night and I'll be alright

Hoping to be everything you want

Wish I was the man that you thought I was

Waiting to fly up on eagles wings

But truth be told, I'm not that bold at all

I'm more frightened

White lightening

So sudden and blinding

Yet no more enlightened

Yeah, just a little more frightened

I'm gonna get it back, I'm gonna get it soon

I've just got to catch up for my world to resume

To be light and to hold you tight while you dream

And I stand alone so does everyone

It brings us closer as a strange distant sum

So near so far like distance stars

Hoping to be everything you want

Wish I was the man that you thought I was

Waiting to fly up on eagles wings

But truth be told, I'm not that bold at all

I'm just frightened

Woke up this morning like that

And all the roads that lead back

Lead me nothing that is nowhere

Lonely

Just a little more frightened

White lightening

So sudden and blinding

Yet no more enlightened

Yeah, just a little more frightened
