The Feeling

And your hair's a mess, smashed onto one side of your head
Weary as your eyes that say you're late today (say you're late today)
It's the clothes you threw on your way on through the dark
That keys you find are not the ones that you've been lookin' for

And everyone knows the feeling
The feeling, the feeling, yeah
Everyone knows the feeling
The feeling, you're feeling, yeah

It's the way she wears her dress and bats her eyes
That makes you fight the truth in lines of cheesy love songs
Oh, your favorite ones
The way she's not who you thought she would be
But she remains a mystery that you haven't figured out
But you wouldn't want to now

And everyone knows the feeling
The feeling, the feeling, yeah
Everyone knows the feeling
The feeling, you're feeling, yeah

Every garbage worker, waitress
And the man who stands the corner
Are just the same as you and I
And every CEO in suit and tie
Different face, a different name
But all your feelings are the same, oh
Your feelings are the same

It's the heat you feel when someone brings it all
Someone who doesn't know enough to know it's deep inside
Or just how hard you try
To cover up exactly what you feel is unattractive, oh
And all the lonely nights you've spent carrying this alone

Everyone knows the feeling
The feeling, the feeling, yeah
Everyone knows the feeling
The feeling, believe me, yeah

Everyone knows the feeling
The feeling, the feeling, yeah
Everyone knows the feeling
The feeling, you're feeling, yeah
