This song is perfect for right now. Round Here (live) by the Counting Crows.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm on top of everything
A little king of anything
I've got a place of mine
It's all my own
Well I'm inside of me again
A small world all the same
And I'm alone and I'm alone
And I'm alone and I'm alone...
Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
where no one notices the contrast of white on white
and in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
and I walk in the air, between the rain,
through myself and back again
where, I don't know
Maria says she's dyin
through the door I hear her cryin
Why, I don't know
around here, yeah we always stand up straight
around here, something radiates
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
And she walks along the edge of where
the ocean meets the land
just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
yeah, she parks her car outside of my house
and takes all her clothes off,
says she's close to understanding Jesus.
but she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
around here, we're carving out our names
around here, we all look the same
around here, we talk just like lions
but we sacrifice just like lambs
around here, yeah she's slippin through my hand
ohhhh, sleeping children better run like the wind
Out of the lightning tree
Well, mama's little baby better get herself in
out of the lightning.
Here underneath the stars, she says,
I am naked in front of you
I do want you want to do
I don't wanna be like you
Get your little hands out round my throat, she said
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love me
Now, you tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love me
Well, I don't wanna be like you, she says
Well, I don't wanna be like you, she says
just leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone
she says, leave me alone, she says
just leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone
leave me alone, leave me alone, she says
well, I don't wanna be like you!
I don't wanna be like you!
I don't wanna be like you!
She says "I'm the girl on the car in the parking lot."
She says "Man, man, man, why don't you take a shot?"
She says "Can't you see me? Can't you see me?
Don't you see me at all? Can't you see me? Can't you see me?
Don't you see me? Don't you seem me at all?
All my walls are crumbling.
All my walls are crumbling.
All my walls are crumbling.
My walls are falling down.
My walls are falling down, down, down.
My walls are crumbling down.
My walls are crumbling down.
She looks up at the building.
She looks up at the building.
She looks up at the building.
All my walls are crumbling down.
She looks up at the building.
She says, "I'm thinking of jumping."
She says, "I'm tired of life."
Well, everybody's tired of something
Around here, she's always on my mind.
Around here, I got a lot of time.
She says, "Around here, we're never sent to bed early,
And nobody makes us late."
She says, "Round here we stay up, round here we stay up,
we stay up very, very, very late."
And I can't see nothin', nothin', around here.
Would you catch me if I was falling?
Would you kiss me if I was leaving?
Would you hold me if I was lonely?
She lives alone on her private archipelago
with her palm trees and her seashells.
She sits in the waves all day.
She's scared of dyin', she wants to keep it that way.
She sends a boat out on the sea
with a little note for me
it says "Why are all the girls so hungry?
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la.
Why are the girls so hungry?
Why are the girls so hungry?
Why are all the girls so hungry?
Why are the girls so hungry?"
Can't see nothin, no, no, no
Can't see nothin, no, no, no, no
Around here.
I said I'm lonely without you.
Cuz I can't see nothin, nothin, around here.
