Lyrics Ray - Aimee Mann

Ray

Ray, as of today
I can’t say
Things will ever be the same
And that could be a shame
'Cause, though
I think I know
Another lonely exile when I see one
And you appear to be one
Still?
I’m playing down 'cause I could really be found
If you’ve got it to spare
I’m playing it cool but it’s terribly cruel
'Cause I ought to be there
And Ray, what can I say
You don’t know me And it’s just wishful thinking
To keep myself from sinking
And hence no evidence
To support any theory I have handy
That you could understand me And so?
I’m playing down 'cause I could really be found
If you’ve got it to spare
I’m playing it cool but it’s terribly cruel
'Cause I ought to be there
'Cause you’re as bad off as me And Ray, can we repay
Ourselves for days that we’ve lost
Through indecision
With one of recognition
If so, then here I go
'Cause some things you know
And some you just believe in And hope it comes even
Oh?
I’m playing down 'cause I could really be found
If you’ve got it to spare
I’m playing it cool but it’s terribly cruel
'Cause I ought to be there
I ought to be there
I ought to be there
