Lyrics Fighting With Myself - Daniel Johnston

Fighting With Myself

I was shadow boxing
And my shadow punched back
Can you imagine my surprise?
Then I got to thinking
If there’s something I don’t know
Something inside of me
That I’m trying to hide
Fighting with myself
I may never win
But I’ll never stop
When did I begin?
'Til I can rest peacefully
I don’t feel bitter
And I wasn’t there
And I wondered where I could be now
So I sat in a chair and tried to relax
But I don’t really know how
Fighting with myself
I may never win
But I’ll never stop
When did I begin?
'Til I can rest peacefully
Fighting with myslf
I may never win
But I’ll nevr stop
When did I begin?
'Til I can rest peacefully
Sometimes I feel like I could get along
But it always ends in tears
Sometimes I feel like I could be happy
But I always find something to fear
