Songtext zu 'Degenerates' von I The Mighty

Another morning I wake up without exception
Though I guess now it's closer to the afternoon
And I am not the first one up as is tradition
But the last to go sleep alone with you

And I breathe in the scent of coffee from the kitchen
I hear the laughter spilling from the other room
And so I drag my body up and join the living
A warm reception almost right on cue

I never would have thought it could ever be this good
And I know each moment's fleeting but right now I feel like I'm right where I should be

I am not a perfect man, I fuck up often
At least I never have to wonder why I came
If you're honest with yourself, I'll bet it's painful
But you and I are far less different than they say

So where do you fit in?
So where do you fit in?

Another night the sun goes down without exception
I hear the matches playing from the other room
It's been a day since I have glanced at my reflection
No words of judgment coming from our crew

We start a fire just as the stars arrive
And I am lost within the flames
Until a touch from you brings me back
To what feels like the perfect day

So why is it you think some people never feel alive?
Don't they know each moment's fleeting?
I can't help but feeling I'm right where I should be

I am not a perfect friend or perfect lover
Oh, I admit sometimes I have too many drinks
But we are all degenerates, half on the inside
And you and I are far less different than they say

So where do you fit in?
So where do you fit in?

I think I found my place to fill that empty space
That feeling we all chase (so where do you fit in?)
And we can sing off-key, as long as we all sing, we sing it beautifully

My head was heavy with thoughts when I got home
I started to focus on my fears, I thought of dying alone

But how I hate to get caught in pointless thought
Self-pity gets me nowhere
I guess we've all got things we're still working out

I think I found my place
I think I found my place
I think I found my place
I think I found my place
