And I was doing fine until the night
But then I couldn't take the sun in Los Angeles
Everything was blazing much too bright
I know that I should sit out on a darkened pier
Feeling the life that is not lived by chance
And yes I know it's just blousy old Hollywood
Jostling for one more song and dance
But you are everyone, you are everyone
I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me
(You are everyone, you are everyone)
Early again today I rushed myself around
I thought that I would miss the morning train
Angry that I had lain in my bed too long
Watching all the patterns of the rain
So many trips I took to seek somebody out
Gaining some ground but maybe losing more
So many pages scrawled to justify myself
I don't know who I did that for
But you are everyone, you are everyone
I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me
(You are everyone, you are everyone)
You took a couple pictures of me once
On some winter night long ago
Simply of me, you might not call them beautiful
I take them everywhere I go
But you are everyone, you are everyone
I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me
(You are everyone, you are everyone)
I ever trusted
I went and found a house in the northern woods And I was doing fine until the night But then I couldn't take the sun in Los Angeles Everything was blazing much too bright I know that I should sit out on a darkened pier Feeling the life that is not lived by chance And yes I know it's just blousy old Hollywood Jostling for one more song and dance But you are everyone, you are everyone I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me (You are everyone, you are everyone) Early again today I rushed myself around I thought that I would miss the morning train Angry that I had lain in my bed too long Watching all the patterns of the rain So many trips I took to seek somebody out Gaining some ground but maybe losing more So many pages scrawled to justify myself I don't know who I did that for But you are everyone, you are everyone I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me (You are everyone, you are everyone) You took a couple pictures of me once On some winter night long ago Simply of me, you might not call them beautiful I take them everywhere I go But you are everyone, you are everyone I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me (You are everyone, you are everyone) I ever trusted Explain Request ×
