All dressed up
In a white straight jacket
Shut your mouth
No you can't have it

Paper air planes
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow

[Chorus]
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
Its for losing my mind
Are you okay
'Cause I feel fine
Maybe its me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright

All messed up
And slightly twisted
Am I sick or am I gifted
Paper air planes
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow

I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
Its for losing my mind
Are you okay
'Cause I feel fine
Maybe its me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright

Wooo
I don't care if you apologize
I can't lie
Wooo
I can't lie

I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
Its for losing my mind
Are you okay
'Cause I feel fine
Maybe its me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
Maybe I like that I'm not alright

    My Interpretation:This song means that nobody is perfect and everyone has their own quirks or is a little insane inside. Brent is saying that he is alright with being weird and a little insane and you should too.

    Lyric Correction:"Am I sick or am I gifted?" instead of "And my sick are in my gifted"

    General Comment:Would someone please tell me what Songmeanings (staff) does when you post a "lyrics correction." Is the song later corrected? Just curious.
