Anything But Down

Sheryl Crow
Sheryl Crow-The Globe Sessions

I light your cigarettesI bring you apples from the vineHow quickly you forgetI run the bath and pour the wineI bring you everything that floats into your mind

But you don't bring me anything but downNo you don't bring me anything but downYou don't bring me anything but downWhen you come around

You are a raging seaI pull myself out everydayI plea insanity'Cause I can't leave and I can't stayYou say, won't you come find me and yes is what I say

You don't bring me anything but downNo you don't bring me anything but downEverything is crashing to the ground

Maybe I'm not your perfect kindMaybe I'm not what you had in mindAnd maybe we're just killing time

You with your silky wordsAnd your eyes of green and blueYou with your steel beliefsThat don't match anything you doIt was so much easier before you became you

Now you don't bring me anything but downNo you don't bring me anything but downNow everything just crashes to the groundWhen you come aroundWhen you come around

No more playing seek and hideNo more long and wasted nightsCan't you make it easy on yourself

I know you wish you were strongYou wish you were never wrongWell, I got some wishes of my own
