Anymore (In Praise of Ann Elizabeth)

Take it back, take it back, take it back all the way
I never thought that I'd be so thoughtless
Waking up all alone on your cold pissed stained floor
Now I know that it's something I don't want anymore
When Annie calls and I hear her voice on the phone
I know she cares and I never felt that way before
As if I ever deserved something so serene in my life
Should it really be so surreal?

I miss the way that I felt back when I was 17
Back then you could break my heart and I wouldn't feel a thing
Don't miss the way that I lived back when I was 24
And I'll never
Feel unimportant
Anymore

Later on, later on, later on in the night
My spirals form and I know that I will not sleep tonight
I'll take a walk and I'll stand on Schenley Park pool
My prince has come and I know that it isn't you
On Easter Day I will say exactly how that I feel
Her parents gone oh I'm shaking and it doesn't feel real
If you should ever leave me oh I don't know what I would do
What good would living do me if I can't spend my life with you?

Days are gone when I can't get out of bed
And I'm praying to a god and I'm wishing I was dead
Don't miss the way that felt all those many years before
And I'll never
Feel unimportant
Anymore

Don't think that I could ever
Just leave it all up to fate
And now I know I'll never
Won't ever act like that again because now I know just who I am
Now I know exactly who I want to be
Now I know exactly want I want
Now I know exactly what I want
And I know
That it's you

[Interlude lyrics taken from "Lean on Me"
Written by Bill Withers (1972)]
Some-
Times in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
Oh but I know
If we are wise
Then we will know
There's always tomorrow
If
There is a load
You have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm up the road
I'll share your load
Oh but you know you gotta just call me
