lyrics

Stared up the road with nothing more
Than just a few thoughts in my head
Had wicked dreams the night before
That kept me up all night in bed
And the things that I’ve been dreaming are the things
I should be working on instead

I took your picture off the shelf/ I couldn’t count on anyone
I had to do it by myself/ And I thought about it too
I don’t see myself in you/ the way you see yourself in me

Drove to the lake and turned around
Thats all there is to do around here
Then build a house and settle down
Not out of love but out of fear
the things that you’ve been fearing
Should all work themselves out come this time next year

I took your picture off the shelf/ I couldn’t count on anyone
I had to do it by myself/ And I thought about it too
I don’t see myself in you/ the way you see yourself in me

I took your picture off the shelf/ I couldn’t count on anyone
I had to do it by myself/ And I thought about it too
I don’t see myself in you/ And I thought about it too
I don’t see myself in you/ And I thought about it too
I don’t see myself in you/ the way you see yourself in me
