lyrics
So I drove to the coast
Thinking this time I'll make the most of this
Yes I alone, so won't you come at me gently?
Just come at me gently
I don't like standing in your way
Or taking back the things I say when I am drunk
So, if I smile, won't you come at me gently?
Just come at me gently, and I'll try
'Cause I am tired
Of the bodies and the pills
And I am tired
Of the different windowsills
And I am tired
Of the bottles and the bills
And the doctors and refills
And the drinking when you're not next to me
But you've got such a pretty face
And this bourbon-ginger tastes just as it should
So, let's make the most of it, but come at me gently
Just come at me gently
'Cause I am balanced on this ledge
And if you are careful, you'll catch me in the air
But I scare easy so please come at me gently
Just come at me gently, and I'll try
'Cause I am tired
Of these cities all alone
And I am tired
Of what you said when you got home
And I am tired
Of always living what I've known
And always doubting that I have grown
And working through the worst of everything
Take some chance that I might mean it
Take some chance that I might mean it
Take some chance that I might mean it
Thinking this time I'll make the most of this
Yes I alone, so won't you come at me gently?
Just come at me gently
I don't like standing in your way
Or taking back the things I say when I am drunk
So, if I smile, won't you come at me gently?
Just come at me gently, and I'll try
'Cause I am tired
Of the bodies and the pills
And I am tired
Of the different windowsills
And I am tired
Of the bottles and the bills
And the doctors and refills
And the drinking when you're not next to me
But you've got such a pretty face
And this bourbon-ginger tastes just as it should
So, let's make the most of it, but come at me gently
Just come at me gently
'Cause I am balanced on this ledge
And if you are careful, you'll catch me in the air
But I scare easy so please come at me gently
Just come at me gently, and I'll try
'Cause I am tired
Of these cities all alone
And I am tired
Of what you said when you got home
And I am tired
Of always living what I've known
And always doubting that I have grown
And working through the worst of everything
Take some chance that I might mean it
Take some chance that I might mean it
Take some chance that I might mean it
