Optic Nerve

(album: Youth Is Wasted On The Young - 1998)

It seems sometimes
That it slips
And it slides away from me

The more I try
The less it fits
The less it fits inside my mind
I wanna catch
I wanna catch you
But I'm stumbling just like you
So won't you try
To catch me
Just before I take the fall

And every time I'm hit
By flashes right out of the blue
I'm trying hard to keep
Myself together squeezing through

I catch a glimpse
Of the thoughts
Spinning round inside my mind
I'm looking for
For just one thing
To make me leave this place

And every time I'm hit
By flashes right out of the blue
I'm trying hard to keep
Myself together squeezing through

And every time I'm hit
By flashes right out of the blue
I'm trying hard to keep
Myself together squeezing through

I wanna catch
I wanna catch you
But I'm stumbling just like you
So won't you try
To catch me
Just before I take the fall

And every time I'm hit
By flashes right out of the blue
I'm trying hard to keep
Myself together squeezing through

And every time I'm hit
By flashes right out of the blue
I'm trying hard to keep
Myself together squeezing through

And every time I'm hit
By flashes right out of the blue
I'm trying hard to keep
Myself together squeezing through

And every time I'm hit
By flashes right out of the blue
I'm trying hard to keep
Myself together squeezing through
