[Verse 1]
On a sunny day, I wake up
And the light drains in
And automatically, I reach out
And I feel the warm weight on my fingers
Yellow with the strain, I guess, I let up
Kick the rubble on the eightfold
I see myself, am I dreaming again? 'Cos it feels like...

[Pre-Chorus]
All my life I've been so sure I'm alright

[Chorus]
But sometimes I'm lonely
And the only things I care about
Fall apart like macaroni
Only for today

[Verse 2]
I let it fall away and come down
Let it dress me up
And as it I knew it would, there's no doubt
Just a troubadour tied to my mooring
Staring at my chains again, they're cut off
But I won't get out
I see myself as a marionette, yeah, it feels like...
[Pre-Chorus]
All my life I've been so sure I'm alright
Banging my drum, blow the fife, circle the pain all night

[Chorus]
But sometimes I'm lonely
And the stupid things I think about
Call my name, seems like I'm only
Waiting for today

[Bridge]
You can live your life this way, it's true
While the old folk pray for tomorrow I'm waiting for today

[Outro]
All my life I've been so sure I'm alright
All my life I've been so sure I'm alright
