It''s sitting by the overcoat,
The second shelf, the note she wrote
That I can''t bring myself to throw away
And also
Reach she said for no one else but you,
Cuz you won''t turn away
When someone else is gone
I''m sorry ''bout the attitude
I need to give when I''m with you
But no one else would take this shit from me
And I''m so
Terrified of no one else but me
I''m here all the time
I won''t go away
It''s me, yeah I can''t get myself to go away
It''s me, and I can''t get myself to go away
Oh God I shouldn''t feel this way
[chorus]
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
It''s been a long day, always ain''t that right
And no Lord your hand won''t stop it
Just keep you trembling
It''s been a long day, always ain''t that right
Well I''m surprised that you''d believe
In any thing that comes from me
I didn''t hear from you or from someone else
And you''re so
Set in life man, a pisser they''re waiting
Too damn bad you get so far so fast
So what, so long
[chorus]
It''s me, yeah and I can''t get myself to go away
It''s me, yeah and I can''t get myself to go away
Oh God I shouldn''t feel this way
[chorus]
