lyrics

Lazy autumn day lighting up your face
I'm never where I wanna be
And if all's alright beneath the surface I
I'm never where I wanna be

Play the game of life roll another dice
I'm never where I wanna be
October rose you sail far beyond the veil
I'm never where I wanna be

All I've ever wanted is all that you have
Tell me what it is that makes this world go round
I'm coming down

Standing in the queue working out who's who
I'm never where I wanna be
Etched into my walls nothing changes at all
I'm never where I wanna be

All I've ever wanted is all that you have
Tell me what it is that makes this world go round
I'm coming down

Still I think of you think of all you'd do
And then I'm where I wanna be
October rose you sail right outside the pale
Remember where I wanna be

All I've ever wanted is all that you have
All I've ever done is watch you going by
Tell me what it is that makes this world go round
I'm coming down
I'm coming down

Remind Me Tomorrow
by Sharon Van Etten

Well, I was introduced to the song Comeback Kid acoustically on a Tiny Desk concert and it really caught my attention. From there I went to the album version and also liked one or two others. David William
