Lyrics Melissa Ferrick

Melissa Ferrick

North Carolina

I'm a mile and a half off of the tracks

in Raleigh, North Carolina

with my

foot all jammed up from driving

14 hours

and my body can't sit upright

hanging around watching the t.v. on mute

listening to all of my money making peers

Yeah and it's

hard not to go to that

place in my head

that'll stop me from ever leaving this room

yeah and it's all so confusing

because i'm all worked up

because all my thoughts are tangled into one

panicked line of white noise

Drown out the voices

drown out the noise

drown out the bitterness yeah that I have stored

drown out my wanting

drown out the fear

you know that everything i've worked for

is just going to

disappear

Because ever since I left you

i've got no one to call

i've got nothing to do but sit around and think about how I could have not hurt you

I am so sick of feeling so sorry for myself you know I go from I go from insanely happy

to no I don't want to be around anybody else

i'm not sure if you know exactly how you feel about me so

let me tell you how you

feel about me

Drown out the voices

drown out the noise

drown out the bitterness yeah that I have stored

drown out my wanting

drown out the fear

you know that everything i've worked for

is just going

disappear

So I pretend i'm connected

I pretend I can feel

I pretend I care about what you think

‘cause intensity

it's never really

been a problem for me

so i'm sorry if I scared you

I just want to be loved...

Drown out the voices

drown out the noise

drown out the bitterness that I have stored

drown out my wanting

drown out the fear

you know that everything i've worked for

is just going to

drown out the voices

drown out the noise

drown out the bitterness yeah that I have stored

drown out my wanting

drown out the fear

you know that everything i've worked for

is just going to

disappear

I'm a mile and a half off of the tracks

in Raleigh, North Carolina
