David Gray
Back in the World
[Verse 1]
Every day when I open my eyes now
It feels like a Saturday
Taking down from the shelf all the parts of myself
That I packed away

[Chorus]
If it's love put the joy in my heart
Is it God by another name
Who's to say how it goes
All I know is I'm back in the world again

[Verse 2]
Like the lift of a curse
Got a whole different person inside my head
No more trudging around stony eyed through the town
Like the living dead

[Chorus]
If it's love lift us up from the dark
Is it God by another name
Who's to say how it goes
All I know is I'm back in the world again
Back in the world again

[Refrain]
It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be
I'm naked like a tree
It's the only way to be
I'm naked like a tree
It's the only way to be
Be
[Verse 3]
Less than sand on the beach
Staring into the reaches of space and time
I'm singing out words but the voice that I hear
It seems barely mine

[Chorus]
If it's love put the song in my heart
Is it God by another name
Whose to say how it goes
All I know is I'm back in the world again
Whose to say how it goes
All I know is I'm back in the world again
Back in the world again

[Refrain]
It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be
I'm naked like a tree
It's the only way to be
I'm naked like a tree
It's the only way to be

The only way to be
The only way to be
The only way to be
[Outro]
Every day when I open my eyes
Yeah yeah
Every day when I open my eyes
Yeah yeah
Every day when I open my eyes
Yeah yeah
Every day when I open my eyes
Yeah yeah
