Teenage Fanclub - My Uptight Life lyrics

The morning sun opens up my eyes

What I see is the same world I know you're seeing

My dreams are real until I realise

Realising's a slow fade from thought to being

The waking world is full of cynics' sighs

Cynicism's a box I don't want to be in

I'll stay in bed until I stabilize

I try to write this song

To move my life along

I know what I dream of

I'll save my life for love

Hidden meanings don't need to hide

When I hide from the world you're the one who'll find me

They don't need screening from the world outside

If the truth's overdue I know you'll remind me

If the truth police are sniffing out a lie

I've done nothing in life I can't put behind me

I'll use my life as an alibi

Meaning is something I got from you

Whenever I lost the plot you knew

What is it I haven't got

When I've got you

Meaning is something I got from you

Whenever I lost the plot you knew

What is it I haven't got

When I've got you

All my life I felt so uptight

Now it's all right.

[repeat to fade]
