Album: Yourself Or Someone Like You (1996)

  • Kody sat down on the avenue
    He tapped his feet, to the humming of the highway
    He watched the light shine down on the broken glass and thought
    I don't got no reasons, yet
    There it is and there it was
    It was clear to all of us
    We kept this hat of broken dreams
    And we pulled them out, when we needed them around

    So please hand me the bottle, I think I'm lonely now
    And please give me direction, I think the hurt set in
    I just caved in
    And I don't feel nothing

    There's a squeak hinge down on the back gate
    It lets us know if he comes around
    I don't sleep that good anyway
    If you've never heard the silence, it's a God awful sound

    So please hand me the bottle, I think I'm lonely now
    And please give me direction, I think the hurt set in
    And I don't feel nothing

    I don't feel nothing, no I don't feel nothing
    There's nothing to feel good about here

    Don't much get down to the avenue
    I could drive, but it takes so much to get there
    Don't get off on all the broken glass,
    The Cadillac scene, well
    I've seen a lot of good things die and I'm
    In an over emotional way

    So please hand me the bottle, I think I'm lonely now
    And please give me direction, I think the hurt set in
    So please hand me the bottle, I think I'm lonely now
    I'm lonely now, I'm lonely now
    I'm lonely now, I'm lonely now
    And please give me direction, I think I just caved
    But it ain't nothing Writer/s: ROB THOMAS
