Counting Crows - Shallow Days Lyrics
Mary jane says its all rightShes just around the corner from the main light.Any day now, its all rightShes standing on the precipice of big time.And I know Im a little uptight,Ive got to go before the sun shines.Were just a couple small people squeezing out a life,We need a little good time.Its not far from here,Mary comes and goes.Drifting through the scenery of the shallow days below,That is anybody knows.You follow trains out of town and they vanish somewhere under the horizon.Yeah well I saw mary jane dragged her shadow down the tracks,Stare off in the distance.Its not far from here,Mary waves hello.Smiling though shes sinking in the shallow days below,I cant find a way out of here.Out on the road again,Im much, much too concerned about mary jane.Im all alone again,I like what she said, not what it means.She leaves me drowning through the shallow days, down below.You know I heard a band playing waltzes in a grange hallThe sun is sinking lower.People staring, mary jane humming softly to herself,Nobody really knows her.Any day now its all right,She tells herself that this will be the last time.Mary jane pulls her hair back and wonders what shell do with all herFreetime.Not too far from here,Mary turns to go.Smiling while the waltz begins, dancing down the roadHey hey mr. freedom,What are we supposed to think?cause Im a very tiny person and it worries me.Im all alone again,I like what she says, not what it means.She leaves me drowning in the shallow days way down below.Im sorry, she said,I know its not the kind of thing you want.Im falling, falling down.Im sorry, she said.I know Im not the kind of girl you want.Were falling, falling, falling, falling down.
