From My Living Room

If these are all the words I can muster
Won't you find a way to hear me out
Because I've been writing songs to you
From my living room and I
Just don't seem to have the fortitude to tell you face-to-face, girl
I've fallen for you

And I'm sitting here alone
With my paper and pen, my guitar, and a feeling that I'm
Never gonna see you by my side
Oh, no, no, well

I will write a song to you
From my living room, because it ain't no use
Trying to take control of things that you can't change, and I will close it off
Postmark it "from my heart" and send it to someplace where it can be off my chest
And we could put this thing to rest for a while
Yeah, for a while
Mmm mmmhmm

So, girl, the next time that you come around here
I will be standing in the same place that Ive been for the last five years.
I hope you open your ears and hear the song I'm singing
'Cause, girl, I've been singing it for too long
Yeah, for too long and now

I will write a song to you
From my living room, because it ain't no use
Trying to take control of things that you can't change. and I will
Close it off, postmark it "from my heart"
And send it to someplace where it can be off my chest
And we could put this thing to rest for a while
Yeah, for a while
Mmm mmmhmm

I know I'm not the only one chasing after your heart and I'm the last to start
And I know that these are only words, but words are all I have
So take them as they are and leave them right here on the table because

I will write a song to you
From my living room, because it ain't no use
Trying to take control of things that you can't change
And I will close it off, postmark it "from my heart"
And send it to someplace where it can be off my chest
And we could put this thing to rest for a while!
Yeah, for a while
Mmm hmmm
