Second skin

I used to be dreaming when i was driving
I used to be leaving when i was arriving
I used to be calling when i was walking
I used to be thinking when i was talking

I used to be counting when i was sharing
I used to be blanking when i was staring
I used to be rolling when i was parking
I used to be raining when i was sparking

Today, i do what's in front of me now
Today, i do what's in front of me now

I used to be stopping while i was trying
I used to be landing before i was flying
I used to be haunting not just remembering
In the middle of summ?r, i was decembering

Always r?-writing what i was reading
But also doubting what i was conceiving
I used to be dropping when i was collecting
I could have been building, but i was dissecting

Today, i do what's in front of me now
Today, i do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
I do what's in front of me now

I used to be missing when i was kissing
Why wasn't i present? i could have been living
I used to be dodging when i was catching
I used to be dying, i could have been hatching

I used to be drowning when i was drinking
I was only masking, i could have been feeling
You used to surround me whenever you found me
I could have learned more from the friends i had ‘round me

I used to be falling when i was leaning
Catastrophe courting, i could have been dreaming
I was careening, looking for meaning
Wish i was relaxing, i could have been breathing

Today, i do what's in front of me now
Today, i do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
Oh there's too many lanes
There's too much to see in the frame at once
There's too much to contain
Oh there's too much terrain
I can never explain it all
It's too much for my brain
Today, i do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
I do what's in front of me now
