i'm afraid you did not catch me at my best
we all have problems we'd rather not address
this is exactly what i came to the city for
i've got nothing to compare this to
but there are so many of me & so few of you
& the wind blows hard even this far from shore
i'll be counting the days once more

i've been walking on eggshells, darling
i've been wearing out my spine
but those words were yours
those words were not mine
& i swear there's no more to me anyhow
& i don't mean to be unkind
i hope you'll come & find me when you're fine

please don't get up until i'm halfway out the door
i left some keys behind, i'm not sure what they're for
this is exactly what i left to get away from
i think it's gonna rain again today
it won't put out the fire, but it might keep it at bay
& i'll be hiding here in plain sight until it's done
i'll be counting the days, one by one

i've been walking on eggshells, darling
i've been wearing out my spine
but those words were yours
those words were not mine
& i swear there's no more to me anyhow
& i don't mean to be unkind
i hope you'll come & find me when you're fine

for the first time in a long time
i'll be stepping out of line
i hope you'll come & find me when you're fine
