Elliott Smith – I Love My Room lyrics

[Chorus]
I love my room yeah I really do
I can just come right in and sit right down
And open my window and see the town
I love my room yeah I hope you like it too
I love to open the shutters wide in the summer time

[Verse 1]
I only dream when she comes out at night
I only sleep in a tent just to never feel right
But in my mind due rest takes a lot of time
They try to keep us on a tether
They think that we came to watch the leather
All i ever wanted was plurality
But all I ever get is company
I love my room

[Chorus]
I love my room yeah I really do
Sometimes i’ll smoke a cigarette
But be carefull so the ash don’t collect in my room
I love my room yeah I hope you like it too
I love to in the darkness [?] after closing time

[Verse 2]
I was gonna tell you but I lost my senses
I forgot my grammar I was so tenses
There was this beautiful story now it all comes back to me
Everybody walked in i’m packing
Everyone was necklace together
I pulled the fire alarm yeah
But i couldn’t survive the weather

[Outro]
When i was 13 I was in a marching band
There were so many loved ones
They used to flock around me and tell me all my plans
They all loved my hands
I love my room
See you in a little while my baby
See you underneath the willow tree
