Lyrics:
Paralyzed!
On the floor again
Lately I've been fiending...
Because it's over
I'm stupid
Living a lie on my own; so alone
You're calling consistently
But I'm
Paralyzed!
On the floor
Far from you
And lately I've been thinking
I'm not feeling anything at all
Will I survive in the dead of night?
And now the lights are fading faster
Save me from my disaster
My disaster
Lay the lights down low!
'God only knows I give up to the fire!
You didn't always come up from the water!
I only thought you were crying from laughter
Saving myself from the mouth of a monster'
Paralyzed!
On the floor again!
Baby I've been fiending
And lately I've been thinking
I'm not feeling anything at all
Will I survive in the dead of night?
And now the lights are fading faster
Save me from my disaster
My disaster!
Paralyzed!
On the floor ...
And lately I've been feeling; I'm not thinking anything at all!
Will I survive in the dead of night?
And now the lights are fading faster
Save me from my disaster; my disaster!
'God only knows I give up to the fire!
You didn't always come up from the water!
I only thought you were crying from laughter
Saving myself from the mouth of a monster'
...
And lately!

I'm at university right now and incredibly homesick but listening to Young The Giant always feels like coming home. This is one of my favourite songs by them and I can't thank them enough for existing

[@LucianoSolano]

+Jaspreet Kalsi i feel the same way ! nothing like young the giant

[@KatieRoosendaal]

+Jaspreet Kalsi I always listen to them when I feel stressed or upset and I always calm down within minutes. they are such a gift:)

[@Zinkx.]

+Jaspreet Kalsi I like these guys :3 Run River North are really good as well

[@eddieperez6929]

this song is something special, it hits home, I gotta admit

[@irenalovecraft3478]

I've been flirting with this band. Listen to them every few months but never more than 3 or 4 songs & then i just move on. But when some time passes and i run into them i'm always plesently surprised ;))

[@angelmora9118]

Might sound funny, but listening to young the giant, makes me remember how young I am and how much time and chances I have left
I can always breath a little calmer after this songs

[@TaterTatiana96]

Yesss
Please do Camera at some point PLEASE

[@bsu88]

+Tatiana Perez this

[@shaqtaku]

I can't wait until their next in the open video. I hope too that it's Camera, although Teachers would be great as well
