COUNTING CROWS - Shallow Days lyrics

rate me

Mary jane says it's all right<br>She's just around the corner from the main light.<br>Any day now, it's all right<br>She's standing on the precipice of big time.<br><br>And I know I'm a little uptight,<br>I've got to go before the sun shines.<br>We're just a couple small people squeezing out a life,<br>We need a little good time.<br><br>It's not far from here,<br>Mary comes and goes.<br>Drifting through the scenery of the shallow days below,<br>That is anybody knows.<br><br>You follow trains out of town and they vanish somewhere under the horizon.<br>Yeah well I saw mary jane dragged her shadow down the tracks,<br>Stare off in the distance.<br><br>It's not far from here,<br>Mary waves hello.<br>Smiling though she's sinking in the shallow days below,<br>I can't find a way out of here.<br><br>Out on the road again,<br>I'm much, much too concerned about mary jane.<br>I'm all alone again,<br>I like what she said, not what it means.<br>She leaves me drowning through the shallow days, down below.<br><br>You know I heard a band playing waltzes in a grange hall<br>The sun is sinking lower.<br>People staring, mary jane humming softly to herself,<br>Nobody really knows her.<br>Any day now it's all right,<br>She tells herself that this will be the last time.<br>Mary jane pulls her hair back and wonders what she'll do with all her<br>Freetime.<br><br>Not too far from here,<br>Mary turns to go.<br>Smiling while the waltz begins, dancing down the road<br><br>Hey hey mr. freedom,<br>What are we supposed to think? <br>'cause I'm a very tiny person and it worries me.<br>I'm all alone again,<br>I like what she says, not what it means.<br>She leaves me drowning in the shallow days way down below.<br><br>I'm sorry, she said,<br>I know it's not the kind of thing you want.<br>I'm falling, falling down.<br>I'm sorry, she said.<br>I know I'm not the kind of girl you want.<br>We're falling, falling, falling, falling down.
