Them And Me

Brendan Benson


I heard you're back on your feet 
I'm really glad to hear it 
You're in the driver's seat 
And you can barely steer it 
When you slammed on the brakes 
I never thought you'd pull through 
Well, if that's what it takes 
Then more power to you 
Here's to you 

What can you show me 
That I haven't already seen before 
You can't really know me 
When one foot's in and one foot's out the door 
What can you say now 
That I haven't heard a million times before 
What can you play now 
That'll have me in tears and screaming for more 

And isn't this the life 
It's everything you wanted 
Forget the struggle and the strife 
You got it, why not flaunt it? 
Even when you were a kid 
They always said you'd go far 
They loved everything you did 
You shined like a star 
And a star is what you are 

Taking your time 
You won't be rushed, you'll move at your own pace 
And all of the time that you were crushed 
Your heart was in the right place 
And when you look back on this 
You'll think about what a good time it was 
You make me happy 
When lately it seems nothing ever does 

What can you show me 
That I haven't already seen before 
You can't really know me 
When one foot's in and one foot's out the door 
What can you say now 
That I haven't heard a trillion times before 
What can you play now 
That'll move me to tears and leave me wanting more
