Song Lyrics

"Barely Stay Inside My Own Skin"

by Ceili Rain
Album: Anthology: 1995-2005

Well I can hardly stand the heightened state I'm in
Barely stay inside of my own skin
Can't believe the life I get to live
Can't conceive the joy I have to give

All because - because of You
Because You made me - made me new
I am not the frightened guy I've been
Barely stay inside of my own skin

Well I can hardly keep the pace and catch my breath
Barely tell my right foot from my left
Got a giant geyser in my heart
Blowin up but hopfully not apart

All because - because of You
Because You made me - chase the Truth
Not the timid guy I've always been
Barely stay inside of my own skin

Well I can see the dawn of brighter bold new days
See my troubles wilt and blow away
See us holdin' hands both black and white
See myself, attempting what is right

All because - because of You
Because You made me - wanna come through
Not the empty promise that I've been
Barely stay inside of my own skin

Jump, jump, jumpin' right out of
Jump, jumpin' out of my skin
Jump, jump, jumpin' right out of the rest of the mess to the pickle I'm in
