Bottom Shelf

Well I'm waiting on Sunday to pass me by When you're clocking out a couple hours to closing time And if a long lost friend comes walking in here now Don't lie to them I'm good as in the broken ground I gotta get and get out while the gettin's still good Cause we can't stand to be in the same room And I've been breaking my back tryin' to heal your wounds But I'm letting go because I'm drowning too Yeah letting go before I follow you I see you writing me off to someone else And I can't take it back for nothing hell I might put this down on the bottom shеlf So I won't look at it every day Oh evеry day If you catch me out wild-eyed and running bad And I'm chasing down things that I ain't never had I might toe these lines before me to my doom Or she'll take my hand up into our neighbor's room Oh but I might get out while the gettin' is good Cause I can't stand what's yet to come And that morning light, well it burns my tongue When it finds us here holdin' onto some Yeah, might find me another way to run And if I slip and fall into the well Just let me dangle there in private hell I been hangin' out on this bottom shelf Cause you won't look at me anyway Oh anyway When the ship set sail we gathered up our ghosts But we bottomed out 20 miles off the coast And when the captain died, well he swore That we'd go down but we turned the tide Looks like he's the one that drowned Oh but at least we got out while the gettin' was good Hell it sure beats dying in the morning Sun I hope somebody's happy with the things he's done Yeah who woulda thought we'd be the lucky ones Let 'em go when it's my time to run I can't carry this all by myself But I won't pass it off onto someone else It's time I put this up on the top shelf So I can look at it every day Every day
