frightened

Paul Weller

1.
I shakes and fall
Underneath my sheets
The sunlight creeping
From my head down to my feet
Telling me to rise
And face the light again

2.
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

Br.
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

Ch.
I m more frightened
White Lightening
So sudden and blinding
Yet no more enlightened
Just a little more frightened

3.
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

4.
And I stand alone
So does everyone
It brings us closer together
As a strange distant sum
So nar so far

Br.
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

Ch.
I m just frightened
Woke up this morning like that
And all the roads that lead back
Lead me nothing that is nowhere
-Lonely

Ch.
-And just a little more frightened
White Lightening
So sudden and blinding
Yet no more enlightened
