"The Only Thing" lyrics

"The Only Thing"

All of us we're always trying to catch up
Call just to let me know what you think
How is this never quite enough
Lost and always trying to get back, can we get back?

Oh, call the doctor and the doctor came in
She said, "Where does it hurt? You know there's a pill for most everything"
Close your eyes, open wide, and we'll make you smile again
Some people believe in ghosts and some believe in aliens

Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in
Crawl out of my mind into the outside
Nobody could reach me

If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
Like some kinda love just opened you up
You know when you feel it
It's the only thing

Oh, don't you feel like you're trying to catch up
Fear makes you jump a little too quick
Time, do we know when it's too late
Always trying to get it back, trying to get it back

But remember all the things that used to be real
Things to help you believe 'cause you wanna make sense of everything
Then there's the first time you crack and you think, "Everyone's laughing at me"
All at once, you're a ghost, you're some kind of alien

Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in
Crawl out of my mind into the outside
I just want to feel it

If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
Find some kinda love to open you up
You know when you feel it
It's the only thing

Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in
Out of my mind into the outside
Nobody could reach me

If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
Like some kinda love just opened you up
You know when you feel it
It's the only thing

It's the only thing
