Lyrics

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar in G major]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals, mid-range]
I had to ride the train again
Probably sit in the rear
So we'll have to talk much
Just listen to my music
I would drift away [vocal grit]
Drift away [sustained belt]
I would drift away
Drift away
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
[acoustic guitar continues driving rhythm]
[high-register melodic wailing]
Oh!
Oh!
Help me up
Are you feeling light at all?
Are you alright?
There's a sun on your shoulder
Do you feel alone?
Is there anybody there to take me home?
[Bridge]
[vocal intensity increases]
Oh!
Help!
Oh!
[Verse 2]
[vocals return to mid-range]
Free me real
We can't go get some
Take the chance
Sometimes it feels okay
Hey!
Oh, hey!
[sustained high-register vocalizations]
Oh, it's real!
Hey!
Hey!
[Outro]
Oh!
Don't be so outside inside out
Don't be so outside inside out
Oh!
