When I met her I was in a hole in the ground And she started helping pull me out Then she disappeared, and I went further down You were so busy I was busy losing my job Now I've got the time for making up your mind for you Selfish? I'm not selfish I'd say I'm a pretty nice dude I want your love If you can give it up And I think you got what I need And I need to tahnk you For coming to California I was in the basement Digging a hole beneath the house It seemed a bear inside the washer It was trying to get out The air changed, some leaves fell I sobered up and I wished you well You were gone I just had a lot on my mind So many itmes a good thing goes to waste, and it's a shame I've been around to see ideas fade away, and it's all the same How many times do you have to remind me? I can't get it out of my head I figured you were happy Doing all your things at the time But when you tell your story It sounds a lot like mine
