[Verse 1]

Or did I say it wrong?
And hang on
Is this my story?
Am I awake now?
Or did I take too long?
[Verse 2]

And you're smoking in the kitchen
While the kettle's close to whistlin'
And the sun streams through the window
In my eyes but it is weird though
'Cos I'm seeing all these particles
That I have never seen before
[Chorus]
And hang on
Am I doing it right?
Am I saved now?
Or did I say it wrong?
And hang on
Is this my story?
Am I awake now?
Or did I take too long?
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Hang on, this don't feel right
But I'm hanging on
And hang on, this don't feel right
But I'm hanging on
