lyrics
Had to pick my jaw off the floor
When you walked into the Black Cat upstairs door
Ain't seen you in fifteen years
But of course you'd find me here
After I've consumed too many beers
Gotta talk to you in italics
Acting like a smart Alec
I've always been a nervous wreck around you
This is not how I pictured this
On the back of my eyelids
Every night since 2006
Had to pick my heart off the floor
When you walked away
Brought me back to Baltimore
Ain't seen you in fifteen years
But of course you'd find me here
After I've consumed too many beers
Gotta talk to you in italics
Acting like a smart Alec
I've always been a nervous wreck around you
This is not how I pictured this
On the back of my eyelids
Every night
This is not how I pictured this
Thought I'd be skinnier
And swimming in success by now
This is not how I pictured this turning out
When you walked into the Black Cat upstairs door
Ain't seen you in fifteen years
But of course you'd find me here
After I've consumed too many beers
Gotta talk to you in italics
Acting like a smart Alec
I've always been a nervous wreck around you
This is not how I pictured this
On the back of my eyelids
Every night since 2006
Had to pick my heart off the floor
When you walked away
Brought me back to Baltimore
Ain't seen you in fifteen years
But of course you'd find me here
After I've consumed too many beers
Gotta talk to you in italics
Acting like a smart Alec
I've always been a nervous wreck around you
This is not how I pictured this
On the back of my eyelids
Every night
This is not how I pictured this
Thought I'd be skinnier
And swimming in success by now
This is not how I pictured this turning out

Underneath, Beside Me
by Lesser Caresupported by 5 fans who also own “Black Cat”
Stellar debut. The sky's the limit for Lesser Care. Having to follow your first album with even better material is saying something. That's how good "Underneath, Beside Me" is.
