They Don’t Know Me

[Verse 1]

Jamie, I'm alone here on the kitchen floor

Come on meet me on La Brea just this side of Fourth

Hey don't stop and think about what your roommates say

'Cause they never really liked me that much anyway

Oh they whisper and warn ya and tell ya that something's not right

But Jamie, just tell me you won't listen at night

[Chorus]

'Cause I would buy the writing

If the walls were cheap

I'd steal a piece of heaven

If the gods would sleep

I might be your salvation

I might just set you free

Everyone keeps talking

Like there's something you don't see, yeah

But they don't know me

[Verse 2]

Jamie, come and meet me down in this little bar

They want to hear me play my songs and beat up my guitar

Hey don't stop and listen to what they say behind your back

Well, they're starving and just making up for everything they lack

They whisper and warn ya and tell ya that you're nothing new

Okay, maybe I've had me a stranger or two

[Chorus]

But I would buy the writing

If the walls were cheap

I'd steal a piece of heaven

If gods would sleep

I might be your salvation

I might just set you free

Everyone keeps talking

Like there's something you don't see, yeah

But they don't know me

[Bridge]

I know that you haven't really heard from me in ten thousand years

And everyone keeps saying how I build you up just to disappear

But they're not here

[Verse 3]

Jamie, I'm alone down on the kitchen floor

Come on, come on, meet me on La Brea like we done before

Hey don't stop and listen to what everybody say

They never really liked me that much anyway

[Chorus]

I would buy the writing

If the walls were cheap

And I'd try to steal you heaven

If the gods would sleep

I might be your salvation

I might just set you free

But everyone keeps talking

Like there's something you don't see

Yeah everyone keeps talking

And they're talking about me

But they don't know me

Well they don't know me

Oh no

They don't know me

[Outro]

Oh yeah, they don't know me

Ah, c'mon

C'mon

C'mon

C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon

C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
