A Room Somewhere

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Thumbin' through these shoeboxed letters and photographs Knowing it's too late to cash in these rainchecks on expired passion So I sit right here And I bruise myself on souvenirs Wonderin' if this junk I save Will follow me to my grave [Chorus] Or to a room somewhere Full of all the things I'd ever lost All the things that I've forgotten Every venture misbegotten That cannot be redeemed All my broken dreams And you [Verse 2] Thinkin' back on moments I shrugged asidе All the days I let slip past as if I could flip the hourglass Thеre's a castle in the air Fallen into disrepair An iron will that's gone to rust Neglected and collecting dust [Chorus] In a room somewhere Full of all the things I'd ever lost All the things that I've forgotten Every venture misbegotten That cannot be redeemed All my broken dreams And you [Mandolin Solo] [Verse 3] All the knickknack, bric a brac, and odds and ends A stopwatch, a spyglass, a jackknife, a backstage pass My sense of equilibrium All the arguments I thought I'd won Are hanging side by side Near the worn-out coats and alibis [Chorus] In a room somewhere Full of all the things I'd ever lost All the things that I've forgotten Every venture misbegotten That cannot be redeemed All my broken dreams And you
