I Love My Room - Elliott Smith

I love my room yeah I really do

I can just come right in and sit right down

And open my window and see the town

I love my room yeah I hope you like it too

I love to open the shutters wide in the summertime

I only dream when she comes out at night

I only sleep in a tent just to never feel right

But in my mind due rest takes a lot of time

They try to keep us on a tether

They think that we came to watch the leather

All I ever wanted was plurality

But all I ever get is company

I love my room

I love my room yeah I really do

Sometimes I’ll smoke a cigarette

But be careful so the ash don’t collect in my room

I love my room yeah I hope you like it too

I love to, in the darkness, hide after closing time

I was gonna tell you but I lost my senses

I forgot my grammar I was so tenseless

There was this beautiful story now it all comes back to me

Everybody walked in I’m packing

Everyone was necklace together

I pulled the fire alarm yeah

But I couldn’t survive the weather

When I was 13, I was in a marching band

There were so many loved ones

They used to flock around me and tell me all my plans

They all loved my hands

I love my room

See you in a little while my baby

See you underneath the willow tree
