What I Owe

  • Took long enough for me to come around
    But the past don't much matter does it now
    I was stuck till you dropped that needle down
    In a flash from that August light, I found
    All to make my maker proud
    Still don't know why you just smiled so patiently
    As I chased down every tale but my own
    While everything that this hard luck kid could dream
    Was stranded outside standing naked in the cold
    So I'll take my time
    And wait my place in line
    To make it shine like gold
    Till I pay down what I owe
    See I always wanted to become homecoming king
    Pretty things are pretty nice I suppose
    Oh but how I wish I spent more time in the deep end fishing
    In swimming pools, ancient eyes and vintage clothes
    But I still got time
    You saved my place in line
    To make it shine like gold
    Till I pay down what I owe
    But I still got time
    You saved my place in line
    To make it shine, shine, shine
    Shine like gold
    Till I pay down what I owe Writer/s: Edward Grossman
