Drowning (Lyric) by wilco
I wish you’d stop making me happy. It makes it hard to be myself. I’ve been a blue boy so long I don’t know how to be anything else. With you sitting naked on the bed sipping coffee I can’t even remember my regrets. So I’ll just wrap myself in another cliché of cheap bourbon and unlit cigarettes. Baby, I don’t know why I seem so lonely even when your around I can’t say I love you ‘cause I’m too scared to drown. I’ve seen the difference in all four corners of the last 10 years and how they passed me by. Crawlin’ all around this town from bar to bar but I ain’t never found no truth in a neon sign. I been so caught up in the static that’s bleeding from college radio I almost didn’t notice how your eyes they shine behind your hair and that I don’t want you to go. Baby, I don’t know why I need to be lonely or why it hurts to drown. Don’t know if I love you but I want you around. Baby, I don’t know why I want to be lonely or why it hurts to drown but every time I see you I can feel myself goin’ down.
