I'm a brown bear in the winter woods
Tucked deep inside my forest cave
Hidden from the outside
I'm a cactus in the blazing desert sun
Hollow on the inside and thirsty for rain
I used to be so good
Now I can't shake this sense of sadness
Been carrying it with me since the day I arrived
Self-medicated to the point of madness
Love makes it better sometimes
Love makes it all alright
Just getting by
I'm a buffalo on the plains of Africa
Separated from the herd
Looking for my way home
I'm a pilot over the Atlantic Ocean
Hurricane winds are blowing and I've lost the light to see
I used to be so good
Now I can't shake this sense of sadness
Been carrying it with me since the day I arrived
Self-medicated to the point of madness
Love makes it better sometimes
Love makes it all alright
In a whirlwind of a life at sea
On a row boat all alone
Up and down up and down constantly
On the lookout for that light house cove
Lookout for that glow
Now I can't shake this sense of sadness
Been carrying it with me since the day I arrived
Self-medicated to the point of madness
Love makes it better sometimes
Love makes it all alright
Just getting by
Just getting by
