Damien Rice - Bottom Shelf lyrics

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 I'm always hanging on

And I'm always closing doors

And I'm 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

And I'll take myself from the bottom shelf

And I'm 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 I'm always hanging on

And I'm always closing doors

And I'm always saying 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

When I really, really want it all

I really, 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 want me to

Am I just wasting my time?

And I'll play for you if you ask me to

Am I just losing my mind?

Am I just losing my mind?

Am I just losing my mind?

Am I just losing?
