Elliott Smith I Love My Room song lyrics

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 shudders wide in the summertime

I only dream when she comes out at night.

I sleep in attempt just to never feel right,

but, getting my mind to rest takes a lot of time.

They tried to keep us on a tether.

They thought that we had come to watch the leather

All I wanted was a plurality

and all I ever get is everything but company, yeah.

I love my room, nana na na

I love my room, yeah, I really do.

Sometimes, i'll smoke a cigarette,

but, be careful so the ashes 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 a pack and

everyone was neckless 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 love my hands.

I love my room.
