about

Co-written with Alec Duffy

lyrics

Letter on the table
Written in your hand
"It's not you, it's just me
I hope you understand
Life's been crazy crazy
Like a wheel that won't go round
And I can't get close to you or anyone
Don't know what's lost or what is found"
You gave me your new address
To forward me your mail
I knew that you were hurting
Didn't know you were so frail

There I am
Knee deep in sympathy
Getting off
On your misery
There I am

Flew to California
Drove the 405
Wanted to show up at your place
Just to see if you're still alive
Parked the rental across the street
Nearly hit the floor
That's when I spotted the dude in the linen suit
Knocking at your front door
You opened up so quickly
And invited him inside
Something in the way you touched his face
The light inside me died

There I am
Knee deep in sympathy
Getting off
On your misery
There I am

Saw an open window
Climbed a desert palm
Made my way to your bedroom
I'd never felt so calm
You both looked up with such surprise
And I cried
Here I am

There I am
Knee deep in sympathy
Getting off
On your misery
There I am
