old selfish me

You thought I had everything, I had no one
But an empty bottle and a soft pack of cigarettes
I was making my way through this town
Like a bat out of hell, a sucker with no regrets

And I wish I could see you but I know it's late
You've got other places you can be

But selfishly
I want you here with me
Old selfish me
I'm just looking for a place to sleep

I wish you could see me now, how things turned out
I'm the person I always thought I could be
I thought I could see the clouds with a foaming mouth
And make it out the other side peacefully

I don't talk in those tongues, I don't speak to the dead
I don't do all those things that got in your head
I wish people well and go on my way
And wonder if things would be different if you had stayed

But selfishly
I want you here with me
Old selfish me
I'm just looking for a place to sleep

Old selfish me
I want you here with me
(I want you here with me, I want you here with me)
Old selfish me
I'm just looking for a place to sleep
(I want you here with me, I want you here with me)

Old selfish me
I want you here with me
(I want you here with me, I want you here with me)
Old selfish me
I'm just looking for a place to sleep, to sleep
(I want you here with me, I want you here with me)
