Lookin' Up

(albüm: I Am Shelby Lynne - 1999)

Smoking and thinking
Of things to do since you're gone
Sitting, lonely
Can't even get stoned
Taking a breath of a feeling that
Once lived in this house

Laughing and dying
At the mirror in the hall
Talking to myself
A memory don't remember at all
Last thing you told me was the first thing that brought on these clouds

I'm looking up, for the next thing that brings me down
Here comes the jet plane
I can see the wheels hit the ground
However long I wait
I'm standing at the gate, looking round

Walking and crying
Stumble into a church
Starting at the rafters
Wondering how much more I can hurt
Hey old man, what are your plans for me
Where am I bound
I'm looking up for the next thing that brings me down
I'm looking up for the next thing that brings me down
