Manic

She packed her bag, and chose some boots
She kissed goodbye, to those who knew
Got on the first train, to the mountains
I’ll walk 900k, yes I’ll do
She met a man, who taught her the ropes
His words of wisdom, would help her cope
'Leave it all behind', he would say
Let’s whisk away our minds, just for one day
Oh I can’t be here
I can’t stay with people
I found myself staring at the ground
I can’t be here
I need away with people
Oh but I’m scared to be alone
Manic on my own
She’d set off far, from any plan
Without a torch or a guide book in hand
She’d weep the wells, of both her pupils
And begin to chant
'Yes I can'
Oh I can’t be here
I can’t stay with people
Oh but I’m scared to be alone…
Manic on my own
Oh I am Manic
Oh so Manic
Manic on my own…
And so this man
On this country lane
Stuck in her memory, all of the way
Imagine you were blind, as you’re walking
It’ll help you find the treasure life lays
He would say
'Oh but I can’t be here,'
I can’t stay with people
I found my own reflection in the ground
I can’t be here
I need away with people
Oh but I’m scared to be alone
Oh so scared to be alone
'Manic on my own'
Oh I am Manic…
Oh so manic
Manic on my own…
