Song for Leila

Made to feel
Don't worry if it's misaligned
Your words conceal
Contortions of the human mind

And I'm wondering now
If the feeling got sour
Cause I'm pushing too hard
Sapping fun out of all that I do
(Ooh)
When it comes with a sigh
Got a feeling I might
Have to bail from the plans
In foreseeable future or two
(Ooh)

But after all, I gotta
Drift away now, I drift away too soon
I'm on the edge here trying to flake out on you
I can't complain now, you treat me oh so good
I'm far away though, mind is on another

This is for the ones who cannot stand to do what they're told

And I'm sorry we're behind but there is just no turning back
I'll call you from far though, please maybe just give me some slack
And the fear of me letting you down is just tearing me up
Bare with me now while I'm trying my luck

But your lips curling downward
Has shown me on countless times
Anger is mounting
But self-restraint's holding you back
And I'm getting my strength up
To give you a heads up
That I cannot summon
The energy for you tonight

But after all, I gotta
Drift away now, I drift away too soon
I'm on the edge here trying to flake out on you
I can't complain now, you treat me oh so good
I'm far away though, mind is on another

This is for the ones who cannot stand to do what they're told

(Made to feel)
And I'm sorry we're behind but there is just no turning back
(Don't worry if it's misaligned)
I'll call you from far though, please maybe just give me some slack
(Your words conceal)
And the fear of me letting you down is just tearing me up
(Contortions of the human mind)
Bare with me now while I'm rushing and trying my luck

Now that the feeling got sour
Cause I'm pushing too hard
Sapping fun out of all that I do
(Ooh)
When it comes with a sigh
Got a feeling I might have to
Bail from the plans
In foreseeable future or two
(Ooh)

Drift away now, I drift away too soon
I'm on the edge here
Drift away now, I drift away too soon
I'm on the edge here trying to flake out on you
I can't complain now, you treat me oh so good
I'm far away though, mind is on another

Drift away now
(And I'm wondering now if the feeling got sour)
I drift away too soon
(Cause I'm pushing too hard, sapping fun out of all that I do)
I'm on the edge here trying to flake out on you
I can't complain now
You treat me oh so good
(And I'm getting my strength up to give you a heads up)
I'm far away though
(That I cannot summon the energy for you tonight)
