counting crows - shallow days (acoustic demo) lyrics

mary jane says it’s all right
she’s just around the corner from the main light
any day now it’s all right
she’s standing on the precipice of big time
and i know i’m a little uptight
and i’ve got to go before the sun shines
yeah we’re just a couple small people squeezing out a life
we need a little good time, it’s not far from the edge

mary comes and goes
drifting through the scenery
of the shallow days below
and as everybody knows
you follow trains out of town
and they vanish somewhere under the horizon
yeah well i saw mary jane
dragged her shadow down the tracks
and fade off in the distance
it’s not far from here, mary waves h-llo
smiling though she’s sinking
in the shallow days below, oh no

i can’t find a way out of here
out on the road again
i’m much, much too concerned
about mary jane
i’m all alone again
and i like what she said
but not what it means
she leaves me drowning
through the shallow days, down below

you know i heard a band playing waltzes in a grange hall
the sun is sinking lower
people staring, mary jane humming softly to herself
but n0body really knows her
and any day now it’s all right
she tells herself that this will be the last time
and mary jane pulls her hair back
and wonders what she’ll do with all her free time
not too far from here, mary turns to go
smiling while the waltz begins
dancing down the road, oh no

hey, hey mr. freedom
what are we supposed to think?
’cause i’m a very tiny person
and it worries me, i’m all alone again
and i like what she says
but not what it means
she leaves me drowning
in the shallow days, way down below
yeah, yeah, yeah

i’m sorry, she said
i know, it’s not the kind of thing you want
i’m falling, falling down
i’m sorry, she said
i know, i’m not the kind of girl you want
we’re falling, oh falling, oh falling, falling down
