Long Day
(R. Thomas)
Matchbox 20 - Yourself or Someone Like You, 1996

Its sitting by the overcoat
the second shelf
the note she wrote
that I can't get myself to throw away
and also reach, she said
for no one else but you
you won't turn away
when someone else is gone

Im sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
but no one else will take this shit from me
and I'm so terrified of no one else but me
Im here all the time
I won't go away

Its me.
And I can't get myself to go away.

Its me.
and I can't get myself to go away -
oh God, I shouldn't feel this way.

(chorus)
Reach down your hand in your pocket
pull out some hope for me
its been a long day
always
ain't that right?
No lord your hand won't stop it
just keep you trembling
its been a long day
always
ain't that right?

Im surprised if you'd believe
in anything that comes from me
I didn't hear from you or someone else
you're so set in life, man
a pisser there waiting
too damn bad you get so far so fast
so what so long?

(chorus)

Its me.
and I can't get myself to go away.

Its me.
and I can't get myself to go away.
oh God I shouldn't feel this way.

(chorus)

Reach out - here I am
just c'mon.
