Counting Crows Round Here (mtv Live Version) Lyrics

Round Here (mtv Live Version) Lyrics

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

Well I walk in the air between the rain,
Through myself and
back again
Where? I don't know

And Maria says she's dying
Through
the door, I hear her crying
Why? I don't know

Round here we always
stand up straight
Round here something radiates

Maria came from
Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she'd like to meet a boy who
looks just like Elvis
…It’s not me…
And she walks
along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she's walking on
a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house and
Takes all
her clothes off,
Says she's close to understanding Jesus
Yeah but she
knows she's more than just a little you know, misunderstood
She has trouble
acting normal, well I have trouble acting normal when she's
nervous

Round here we are carving 
We are carving
We are carving
out our names
Round here yeah I know - we all look the same
Round here we
talk just like lions
Yeah but we sacrifice just like lambs
Round here
she's slipping though my hands

Oh, Sleeping children better run like the
wind
Out of the lightning dream
Mama's little baby better get herself
in
Out of the lightning

She says, "It's only in my head."
yeah
She says, "Shut up, I know, I know this is only in my
head."
She said
“Did you think that you were
dreaming?�
I said “no�
She said 
“Did you think
that you were dreaming?�
I said “no�
She
said
“Did you think that you were dreaming?�
I said,
“Sometimes I don’t know…�

Because, I was out on
the radio
Just starting to change
Somewhere out in
America,
It’s just starting to rain
Could you tell me one thing
you remember about me?
Yeah ‘Cause I was out on the radio
Just
starting to change
Somewhere out in America
It was starting to
rain
Could you just tell me
One thing
You will remember about
me?
Tell me one thing
Tell me one thing
Tell me one thing
That you
will remember about me

Sssshhhh…

‘Cause
there’s a girl on the car out in the parking lot
And she says:
"Man, c’mon, c’mon just take a shot�
She says
“Can’t you see me?�
She says “Can’t you see
me?�
She says “Can’t you see my walls are tumbling
down?�
She said “Can’t you see my walls crumbling
down?
And can’t you see my sun’s stopped spinning
around?
And can’t you see that sky turn black and brown?
And
can’t you see that moon go flashing round?
And can’t you see
me?
And can’t you see me?
And can’t you see
me?

No.

There’s a girl on the car in the parking
lot
Says “Man you should try to take a shot,
Can’t you see
me walls are crumbling?�
And she looks up at the building
She says
“Hey I’m thinking of jumping�.
She says, “I’m
sick and tired of life�
Well everybody’s sick and tired of
something!

But round here she is always on my mind
Round here, Hey
man, look at me ‘cause I got a lotta a lotta time
Round here we're
never sent to bed early
Hey man, nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay
up very very very very late

And I said, that I was out on the
radio
Just starting to change
Somewhere out in America
It is starting
to rain
Could you tell me one thing you will remember
About
me?
‘Cause I was out on the radio
Just starting to
change
Somewhere out in America
It’s starting to rain
Could you
tell me one thing
You will remember about me?
‘Cause I was out on
the radio
Just starting to change
Somewhere out in America
It’s
starting to rain
can you tell me one thing
You remember about
me?

Hey aah, I am fuckin tired!  So did you guys know that 
this is
all being televised tonight?  Y’all do?
