Damien Rice Bottom Shelf Lyrics

Bottom Shelf Lyrics

I take myself from the bottom shelf

And I reel my troubles in

And I put them up on a higher hill

To a place I’ve never been.



And I’ll wait for you if you want me to,

Am I just wasting my time?

And I’ll wait for you if you ask me to,

Am I just losing my mind?



And im always hanging on,

And im always closing doors,

And im always saying no,

No, when I really really want it all,

When I really really want it all

When I really really want it all

When I really really want you.



And I’ll take myself from the bottom shelf

And im on the street again

But it’s the newer town, and the rain come down,

In a place I’ve never been.



And I play for you if you ask me to,

Am I just wasting my time?

Yeah I play for you if you want me to,

Am I just losing my mind?



Cause im always hanging on,

And im always closing doors.

And im always saying no,

No, when I really really want it all

When I really really want it all

When I really really want it all

When I really really want it all

When I really really want you.



When I really really want it all

I really really want

Yeah I really really want it all

When I really really wanted you.



I take myself from the bottom shelf

And I reel my troubles in.

And I put them up on a higher hill,

To a place I’ve never been.



And I’ll play for you if you ask me to,

Am I just wasting my time?

Yeah I’ll play for you if you want me to,

Am I just losing my mind?



Am I just losing my mind?

Am I just losing my mind?

Am I just losing my mind?

Am I just losing my mind?
