Distractions
Background
Lyrics
My brain
holds me in isolated embrace
Kicks me down when I'm up on top
Such a welcoming space
Keeps me comin back
Just little bit more
Gonna get it this time
Gonna even the score
Keeps me fightin for somethin
I just can’t quite match
Keeps me running for the door
(CHORUS)
Distractions keep me up all night
Feelin like I'm on fire but I'm frozen in place
Distractions steal all my time
Feelin like a joker I assure you I'm fine
Distractions
Distractions
Distractions
Distractions steal all my time
/GUITAR SOLO/
My heart
heavy in the middle of the night
Echoes of joy and laughter
That don't feel right
Whispers in my ear
Just a little bit more
Gonna break through this time
Gonna settle the score
Keeps me reaching for somethin
I just can't quite grasp
Keeps me fallin to the floor
(CHORUS)
My feet
set themselves a strong deep root
The thought of moving away
Afraid it's all moot
The yelling in my head
Just a little bit more
Never gonna break free
Never settle the score
Keeps me kicking and screaming
I just can't quite cope
Keeps me tryin to stay sober
When I'm lost
Need to find another way
When I'm down
Need my emotion to stray
When I'm out
Need to fight my dismay
And all I can say is
This is just me
I don't know any other way to be
This is just me
I don't know any other way to be
Distractions keep me up all night
Feelin like I'm on fire but I'm frozen in place
Distractions steal all my time
Feelin like a joker I assure you I'm fine
