Lyrics

[Verse 1] At the bottom of the kitchen trash, I found the empty container Of take-out food with my name clearly written on it Following a trail of footsteps from the standing water in the bathroom I discovered my soaking-wet bedroom slippers in the hallway [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I've been spoiled by a life of solitude Maybe there's some other way I can express my gratitude [Chorus] But the presence of so many friendly strangers makes me nervous And it doesn't mean that I'm not truly thankful for your service [Verse 2] Lately I've been spending more and more of my free time hanging out In the empty back room of the diner just up the highway And it's just to give you elbow room, I've been making use Of the sleeping bag I keep rolled up and stashed behind my couch [Pre-Chorus] Do you think that I think I'm somehow better than you? Please accept my word that nothing could be further from the truth [Chorus] But the presence of so many friendly strangers makes me nervous And it doesn't mean that I'm not truly thankful for your service
