On My Knees is the second track released from “Lost Kids” and about striving for something more than perfection, and realising that we don’t always succeed in every endeavour and that’s just fine.
The band describe the track as:
about rejecting the value system of the individual as the prime unit...
[Verse 1]
Give me a sign
I said, give me a sign
I got the big green eyes
And they're looking everywhere
Give me a hand
I said, give me a hand
'Cause mine are open wide
I'm just hoping that you're there
You were never far from my mind
[Chorus]
I swear when I am on my knees, it's different
I swear when I've fallen off my feet
I stare at everything a little different
There's something there that I have never seen
[Verse 2]
What is the plan?
I said, what is the plan?
I am the second hand
I am a roadside distraction
And they're looking at me
As if I got what they need
But I don't got it, don't got it, don't got it
And you think I know but I don't know, I don't know
[Chorus]
I swear when I am on my knees, it's different
I swear when I've fallen off my feet
I stare at everything a little different
There's something there that I have never seen
I swear when I am on my knees, it's different
I swear when I've fallen off my feet
I stare at everything a little different
There's something there that I have never seen
There's something there that I have never seen
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I swear when I am on my knees, it's different
I swear when I am off my feet
I stare but everything's a little different
There's something there that I have never seen
Yeah, there's something there that I have never seen
