I said to my reflection, "Let's get out of this plane"
I said to my reflection, "Let's get out of this place"

And wishing I was well
The people keep on crowding
Ain't wishing I was well
The people keep on crying
And wishing I was well.
The people keep on grabbing
Ain't wishing I was well.
There’s my lover
or
There’s my mother
There’s no other
Tinted by the fruit of a lover
Tempted by the fruit of another

What's been going on?

I fumble for my cloth
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock.
Your buddy gets much closer....
Your body gets much closer
