In a crowded room where the glasses clink
And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep
Because that keeps me from falling asleep I said
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
Still I find this narcolepsy slide slide
Into another nightmare
Keep awake, keep awake, keep awake
And I can feel this narcolepsy slide

The story behind the song

Third Eye Blind formed in San Francisco in 1993, with the songwriting duo of Stephan Jenkins and Kevin Cadogan signing the band's first major-label contract in 1996. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1997, featuring Jenkins on vocals and rhythm guitar, Cadogan on lead guitar, Arion Salazar on bass, and Brad Hargreaves on drums. This song, appearing on that debut, plays like a dive into a hazy, dream-like state, a musical embodiment of its title.
