Song: I Love My Room - Elliott Smith

i love my room, yeah, i really do

i can just come right in and sit right down
and open my window and see the town.
i love my room yeah, i hope you like it, too.
i love to open the shudders wide in the summertime
i only dream when she comes out at night.
i sleep in attempt just to never feel right,
but, getting my mind to rest takes a lot of time.
they tried to keep us on a tether.
they thought that we had come to watch the leather
all i wanted was a plurality
and all i ever get is everything but company, yeah.
i love my room, nana na na
i love my room, yeah, i really do.
sometimes, i’ll smoke a cigarette,
but, be careful so the ashes don’t collect in my room.
i love my room, yeah, i hope you like it, too.
i love to, in the darkness, hide after closing time
i was gonna tell you but i lost my senses,
i forgot my grammar, i was so tenseless.
there was this beautiful story...
now, it all comes back to me:
everybody walked in a pack and
everyone was neckless together...
i pulled the fire alarm, yeah
but, i couldn’t survive the weather.
when i was 13, i was in a marching band,
there were so many loved ones,
they used to flock around me,
and tell me all my plans.
they all love my hands.
i love my room.
