Phoenix – If Ever I Feel Better lyrics
They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
It's like a bad day that never ends
I feel the chaos around me

A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There are things in my life that I can't control

They say love ain't nothing but a sore
I don't even know what love is
Too many tears have had to fall
Don't you know I'm so tired of it all

I have known terror dizzy spells
Finding out the secrets words won't tell
Whatever it is it can't be named
There's a part of my world that' s fading away

You know I don't want to be clever
To be brilliant or superior
True like ice, true like fire
Now I know that a breeze can blow me away

Now I know there's much more dignity
In defeat than in the brightest victory
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

Hang on to the good days
I can lean on my friends
They help me going through hard times

But I'm feeding the enemy
I'm in league with the foe
Blame me for what's happening
I can't try, I can't try, I can't try...

No one knows the hard times I went through
If happiness came I miss the call
The stormy days ain't over
I've tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost

Now I've watched all my castles fall
They were made of dust, after all

Someday all this mess will make me laugh
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait...

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

It's like somebody took my place
I ain't even playing my own game
The rules have changed well I didn't know
There are things in my life I can't control

I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There's a part of my life that will go away

Dark is the night, cold is the ground
In the circular solitude of my heart
As one who strives a hill to climb
I am sure I'll come through I don't know how

They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

    It's when you go through your mid life - or more popular today - your quarter life crisis. Also known as the existential crisis, dark night of the soul, or fourth internal monad. It's the time of your life when you re-evaluate everything you thought was true and question it. Eventually, everything you thought had meaning loses its value. It's not a bad thing though, and it's only temporary, which the lyrics make clear. You lose all meaning and find yourself broken, but then you get to put the pieces back together and make yourself into the person you truly want to be - not the person the world shaped you to be as a child. The singer is in the midst of this experience, but has the sense that even though everything sucks and all his castles have crumbled, one day he will look back and laugh and understand.

    It seems like a guy with a real broken heart. He is trying to move on but something or part of him is still holding on hes tried to have his friends make him feel better. It also seems like he is keeping the emoticons to himself and the song is how he lets go of his emotions. He loves her but he is tired of the pain hurt and disappointment. The part where he asks for the number I'm not sure what hes trying to say maybe its another girl that likes him but he inst quite ready his heart didn't really give up just yet. This reminds me of my ex because he really loves this song and now I know why. This comment is dectated to him tony micheal g.
