lyrics

I've been feeling kinda ill
I read the postcards on my windowsill
and you know it brings me back
to secret message pressed in candle wax
it was a hot damn shame
I got a little too close to the flame
and it melted away

now if I'm rolling on wheels
let me be going downhill
let me be half empty so I
do not spill
I'll take the long way home
to buy me some time
if I'm in hot water
that would be fine
I'm sweating out the sickness
uh huh, oh yeah

I could have been your punching bag
hanging round but never striking back
but you were always in the ring
looking for something a bit more challenging
and I was too easy
offering up what you wanted to take from me
so please, please, please

if I'm rolling on wheels
let me be going downhill
let me be half empty so I
do not spill
I'll take the long way home
to buy me some time
if I'm in hot water
that would be fine
I'm sweating out the sickness
uh huh, oh yeah

I've never been much good
at caring for myself
never seen a doctor when I'm in poor health
and you may think that I don't care
when I feel like hell and I'm just lying there
truth is I just don't know what to do
except lay around, pretend I don't think of you
oh but I do and the medicine makes me blue

now if I'm rolling on wheels
let me be going downhill
let me be half empty so I
do not spill
I'll take the long way home
to buy me some time
if I'm in hot water
that would be fine
I'm sweating out the sickness
uh huh, all my life

cause I bit the poison apple
now I'm paying the eternal price

I'm sweating out the sickness
uh huh, woah oh yeah.
