Story Behind the Song
Down and out because of love, with some neat Baltimore imagery like Royal Farm Stores and Fletcher's Bar. Recorded at Invisible Sound in Baltimore, MD
Lyrics
driving down these city streets, moving to a cd's beat, but I...
I've got time.
raining fast, I'm falling hard and here I am, without cue cards
I keep forgetting my lines.
Wish that I were somewhere warm instead in this thunderstorm
of life on the edge.
passing by Fletcher's bar I hear the music from my car
we're dancin' in my head.
taking it up, taking it all in, did I take you for granted?
wanting so much just to see you again, maybe I should demand it...
yeah, yeah, yeah
nothing to lose
yeah, yeah, yeah
except these blues
yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've got a clue
yeah, yeah, yeah
the reason is you
yeah, yeah, yeah.
stopping by the Royal Farm, where day-old coffee has its charm
and lights shine so bright.
good to sit and rest a bit I think of you and blow a kiss
that floats into the night.
maybe I said all the wrong things, maybe it doesn't matter
gone are the days when I could think, now my heart is in tatters.
yeah, yeah, yeah
nothing to lose
yeah, yeah, yeah
except these blues
yeah, yeah, yeah
I've got a clue
yeah, yeah, yeah
the reason is you
yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can't forget how you can't begin to even guess the state I'm in--
I just want to die.
& I regret while you turn in with all the keys to everything--
I might just lose my mind.
yeah, yeah, yeah...
