I woke up this morning, blankets thick like my tongue My thinking still tangled, couldn't get the words to come Yesterday i could fly, forgot to come back to the ground You watched me in the sky, knowing how i always circle down And when i'm just getting by, that's when i see myself a fool When i'm just getting by, that's when i thank god for you There's snow on my windshield and i'm hours from home I crack my window open and think of you asleep and warm I was just singing, forgot to come back to the ground And with my ears ringing, i'll try not to make a sound And when i'm just getting by, that's when i see myself a fool When i'm just getting by, that's when i thank god for you I felt like crying to your half-asleep heart No reason, really, sometimes i just fall apart It used to scare you when i'd come back to the ground Now you just hold me, knowing how i always circle around And when i'm just getting by, that's when i see myself a fool When i'm just getting by, that's when i thank god for you
