Smiling This is a life of extremes Both sides are slippery and enticing These are my places off the rails
And this, my loose recollection of a falling I barely remember who I failed I was just trying to keep it together
This is my first wave of my white flag (Ah) This is the sound of me hitting bottom (Ah) This my surrender, if that's what you call it In the anatomy of my crash (Ah)
And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still
Me, the notorious bottom dweller Me, the ceiling-less brave explorer Lured to the ends of overwhelm
This is my first wave of the white flag (Ah)
This is the sound of me hitting bottom (Ah) This my surrender, if that's what I call it In the anatomy of my crash (Ah)
And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still
Such pretty forks in the road On this continuum I've been bouncing Life flashing promise before my eyes
This is my first wave of the white flag (Ah) This is the sound of me hitting bottom (Ah) This my surrender, if I can bare it (Ah) In the anatomy of my crash (Ah)
And I keep on smiling Keep on moving Can't stand still
