Shorebirds - People I Live With lyrics

rate me

Kicking around downtown<br />

See the people in the passing windows<br />

And their hungry, tired faces betray<br />

They wish they had somewhere better to go<br />

You know I'm no different<br />

With my hand deep in my pockets<br />

Thinking "it don't really matter where I end up tonight"<br />

<br />

[Chorus:]<br />

Because it's kind of hard to be a saint in the city<br />

Even though this ain't no city that I live in<br />

This pavement's worn from the circles that I walk in<br />

It just feels the same<br />

<br />

It feels like nothing's changed<br />

<br />

Going from town to town<br />

Or from house to house<br />

You know I just can't seem to get it right<br />

And I just don't want to see you tonight<br />

'Cause it's all the same buildings<br />

And it's all the same dirty streets<br />

Our little version of America<br />

Don't really mean shit to me<br />

<br />

Sometimes I feel more than the city can hold<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

<br />

I can't live with the people I live with<br />

I can't work with the people I work with<br />

Some people say I just got an attitude<br />

Some people say I'm just hard to deal with<br />

<br />

I just try to survive<br />

<br />

Done some things that I'm not too proud of<br />

You know you never want to hurt the people you love<br />

Sometimes you've gotta look them in the eye and apologize
