from the album: live@home

When you get up, will you save me something
I don't think I'll make it on my own
When you get up, will you leave the passage open
I don't think I'll make it before dawn

Before today, I used to say that I'd be there
I'd never disappoint in any way
Send for the clowns, may no one know what's here at stake
May no one ever read between the lines
No one ever read between the lines

If you get in, will you ask if I am welcome
Ask if there is something to be done
You get in, will you save me something
I don't think I'll make it very soon

Before today, I used to say that I'd be there
I'd never disappoint in any way
Send for the clowns, may no one know what's here at stake
May no one ever read between the lines
No one ever read between the lines

That is not like me at all, oh no
That is not what I would usually do
Don't judge me while I am small, oh no
Don't judge me as you usually do

I usually know myself
I usually take the fall
I usually know myself
I'm usually tall

If you were me, would you ask if you were someone
Would you ask if there is something to be done
If you get in, will you see if I am living
I don't think I'll make it on my own

Before today, I used to say that I'd be there
I'd never disappoint in any way
Send for the clowns, may no one know what's here at stake
May no one ever read between the lines
No one ever read between the lines

That is not like me at all
That is not what I would usually do
Don't judge me while I am small
Don't judge me as you usually do

I usually know myself
I usually take the fall
I usually know myself
I'm usually tall

I usually know myself
I usually take the fall
I usually know myself
I'm usually tall

I usually know myself
I usually take the fall
I usually know myself
I'm usually tall

I usually know myself
I usually take the fall
I'm usually tall
I usually know myself
I'm usually tall
