Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes, I wonder if I should be medicated If I would feel better just lightly sedated The feeling comes so fast and I cannot control it I'm on fire, but I'm trying not to show it [Refrain] As it picks me up, puts me down It picks me up, puts me down Picks me up, it puts me down A hundred times a day It picks me up, puts me down Chews me up, spits me out Picks me up, it puts me down [Verse 2] I'm always running from something I push it back, but it keeps on coming And being clever never got me very far Because it's all in my head "You're too sensitive," they said I said, "Okay, but let's discuss this at the hospital" [Refrain] As it picks me up, puts me down Picks me up, puts me down Picks me up, it puts me down A hundred times a day Picks me up, puts me down Chews me up, spits me out It picks me up, puts me down [Chorus] But I hear the music, I feel the beat And for a moment, when I'm dancing, I am free I hear the music, I feel the beat And for a moment, when I'm dancing I am free I am free [Bridge] Is this how it is? Is this how it's always been? To exist in the face of suffering and death And somehow still keep singing? Oh, like Christ up on a cross Who died for us, who died for what? Oh, don't you wanna call it off? But there is nothing else that I know how to do But to open up my arms and give it all to you [Chorus] 'Cause I hear the music, I feel the beat And for a moment, when I'm dancing I am free I am free I am free I am free
