In My Corner

I met you in a hallway

Drinking coffee out of styrofoam

You said, "I should have brought my own mug."

I said, "Yeah, me too."

You said, "Well what can you do?"

Take my number down

We can meet up when we're both in town."

I found you in a parking lot

Leaning on somebody's car

You said, "Don't worry, I'm quitting."

I said, "Yeah, I believe you."

There's nothing you can't breathe through

Even when money's tight

We all got demons that keep us up at night

It's never been easy

With you on my mind

But I am in your corner

And you are in mine

I saw you at the Fonda

I saw you at the Troubadour

When you put me on the door

With a plus one

It was night one

And I think it was June

Couldn't remember the name of that one tune

Temporary tattoo of a hot dog

Long night out

I always wake up wondering

If I've been running my mouth

You know I'm always wondering

I never get very far

Just end up retracing old scars

It's never been easy

With you on my mind

But I am in your corner

And you are in mine

I spent a day riding cabs in L.A.

And never getting anywhere (Never getting anywhere)

I left my bags on a chair

I'm never getting anywhere (Never getting anywhere)

Sometimes I'm just overwhelmed with despair

Think I'm never getting anywhere (Never getting anywhere)

It's never been easy

With you on my mind

But I am in your corner

And you are in mine
