After seeing the video (WM) on VH1 Friday morning before I left my apartment and then hearing a friend say how the song was stuck in her head, I've been listening to Matchbox Twenty's song, Unwell, all weekend. Have a listen, although you may get it stuck in your head too...

Lyrics:

All day
Staring at the ceiling makin'
Friends with shadows on my wall

All night
Hearin' voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good
For something

Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
And I don't know why

[Chorus]
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...

...Me

And talking to myself in public
And dodging glances on the train
And I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong... with me

Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind

[CHORUS]

I've been talkin' in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah they'll be taking me away

[CHORUS]

And how I used to be

Hey how I used to be
How I used to be...yeah and
I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell
