Lyrics I Love My Room - Elliott Smith

I Love My Room

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 shutters wide in the summertime
I only dream when she comes out at night
I only sleep in a tent just to never feel right
But in my mind due rest takes a lot of time
They try to keep us on a tether
They think that we came to watch the leather
All I ever wanted was plurality
But all I ever get is company
I love my room
I love my room yeah I really do
Sometimes I’ll smoke a cigarette
But be careful so the ash 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 I’m packing
Everyone was necklace 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 loved my hands
I love my room
See you in a little while my baby
See you underneath the willow tree
