Damien Rice
"Bottom Shelf"


I take myself from the bottom shelf
And I reel my troubles in
And I put them up on a higher hill
To a place I've never been.
And I'll wait for you if you want me to,
Am I just wasting my time?
And I'll wait for you if you ask me to,
Am I just losing my mind?

And im always hanging on,
And im always closing doors,
And im always saying no,
No, when I really really want it all,
When I really really want it all
When I really really want it all
When I really really want you.

And I'll take myself from the bottom shelf
And im on the street again
But it's the newer town, and the rain come down,
In a place I've never been.

And I play for you if you ask me to,
Am I just wasting my time?
Yeah I play for you if you want me to,
Am I just losing my mind?

Cause im always hanging on,
And im always closing doors.
And im always saying no,
No, when I really really want it all
When I really really want it all
When I really really want it all
When I really really want it all
When I really really want you.

When I really really want it all
I really really want
Yeah I really really want it all
When I really really wanted you.

I take myself from the bottom shelf
And I reel my troubles in.
And I put them up on a higher hill,
To a place I've never been.

And I'll play for you if you ask me to,
Am I just wasting my time?
Yeah I'll play for you if you want me to,
Am I just losing my mind?

Am I just losing my mind?
Am I just losing my mind?
Am I just losing my mind?
