about

from the album Live at Rockwood. recorded at Rockwood Music Hall in New York City, January 2012

lyrics

rushin through the world in your unmade bed
with your head on fire and your heart undressed
you can always tell when youre in my dreams

nothing but the clothes that you left remain
in a paper bag with a faded stain
you can always tell when i wipe you clean

aint no surprise you’d call me up today
aint no surprise i’m still the same

is this what you meant, is this what you said
that some day i might miss you when youre gone
is this what you saw, is this what you want
just to hear me say that i was wrong

isn’t this right where i belong
here on the floor imploring you to change your mind
is this what you meant, is this what you meant
still no less the mess you left behind

Don't u think I know I'm a joke these days
with a broken track and a laugh I've saved
From the time I almost gave a damn

Guess i built u up til u tumbled down
And u tried so hard just to stay around
U tried to love me the way I am

i never heard a word u had to say
so mad i couldn't have my way


is this what you meant, is this what you said
that some day i might miss you when youre gone
is this what you saw, is this what you want
just to hear me say that i was wrong

isn’t this right where i belong
here on the floor imploring you to change your mind
is this what you meant, is this what you meant
still no less the mess you left behind

still no less alone without your hand in mine
waiting by the phone after all this time
wishing i had one more chance to never let you go
wishing you’d come say i told you so

is this what you meant, is this what you said
that some day i might miss you when youre gone
is this what you saw, is this what you want
just to hear me say that i was wrong

isn’t this right where i belong
here on the floor imploring you to change your mind
is this what you meant, is this what you meant
still no less the mess you left behind
