holiday chez moi












sometimes music really IS salvation.

the world don't owe me nothing
even though i want it to
the world don't owe me happy
the world don't owe me a love like you

the world don't owe me nothing
even though i'm on my knees
not the things i took for granted
not the things i thought i'd got for free

but i will lay all my troubles on the ground
in front of you, and play
let me play just one more song
that's my rescue

the world don't owe me flowers 
even though i planted seeds
the world don't owe me sunshine
the world don't owe me what i need

the world don't owe me a reason
for when the night's too long
the world don't owe me nothing
i don't understand all that's gone wrong

but i will lay dow my troubles on the ground
in front of you
and play
let me play just one more song
that's my rescue

the world don't owe me a highway
don't owe me a tree
the world don't owe me an easy way out
here it comes again,
another kind of pain

and i will lay all my troubles on the ground 
in front of you
and play
let me play just one more song
that's my rescue


(thanks, catie curtis. 
this is one of those need-it-like-air songs for my soul. 
and a timely, timely find.)
