DayOne - I'm Doing Fine

Everyone has
Their own centre to this universe
But it stops right there
And kids who try and see it all
Writing graffiti on the wall
But it stops right there
And were all in the know
From one television show
But it stops right there
And take care of yourself
'Cause its all about ourselves
And it stops right there

Im lost looking in a sea of faces everywhere
Now where did she go?
I need to find her quickly
To immerse my insecurity
Im lonely amongst these people
And I need to feel love
And I need to feel part of something
Is that strange?
And why are they reluctant to talk
And why do they look alone when they walk?
I see a face but no names

But despite my confusion
Ive come to the conclusion
That people
Need people
Its something I forget
But Ive come to accept
That people
Need people

And Im alright
And Im ok
Im surviving well
Without you
And what did you want
And what did you expect
Did you want me to still talk about you?

No, no way
Im on my own now
And doing fine ( and doing fine )
No, no way
Im on my own now
And doing fine ( and doing fine )

And anyone can give
Money to a good cause
But it stops right there
And anyone can sign
A petition to change the law
But it stops right there
And we can believe in socialism
Or any theorism
But it stops right there
And take care of yourself
'Cause its all about yourself
And it stops right there
But Im not part of this
Im not seeing what theyre seeing
Im staring at the ceiling to the world
To see what is lying
On the horizon
Maybe Ill see you again someday girl

But despite my raw deal
I still feel
That people
Need people
Its something we forget
But we must accept
That people
Need people

And Im alright
And Im ok
Im surviving well without you
And what did you want
And what did you expect
Did you want me to still talk about you?
No, no way
Im on my own now
And doing fine
No, no way
Im on my own now
And doing fine
I'm doing fine

@wtfuchattin We all feel old. You're not on your own.

[wtfuchattin]

@mikese4 Fucking 12 years old?! I still remember seeing this on Brand New... Jesus I feel old.

[mikese4]

Just pulled thew CD out of the cupboard and wanted to see if they had a video. SO underrated. and I can't believe its 12 years old.

[IntoxicCH]

The lyrics, the vocal performance, the effects, the production, the buildup, the strings—it all comes together so perfectly, it blows my mind. Criminally underappreciated track.

At first I didn't like this song but the lyrics are so intense... I love this xD

[intheshitter]

Fuck I love the bass in this.

[fieldmoose59]

Great song !

@dayoneuk Though it's supporting more than illegal downloads, don't buy off itunes. Buy the CD from the bands myspace, or merch site. They will make more money off it, then itunes.
