Elliott Smith - Say Yes

From "Either/Or" (1997)

LYRICS:
I'm in love
With the world
Through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
We broke up
A month ago
Then I grew up
I didn't know
I'd be around
The morning after

It's always been
Wait and see
A happy day
And then you pay
And feel like shit
The morning after

But now I feel
Changed around
And instead
Of falling down
I'm standing up
The morning after

Situations get fucked up
And turned around
Sooner or later

I could be
Another fool
Or an exception
To the rule
You tell me
The morning after

Crickets spin can't come to rest,
I'm damaged bad at best
She'll decide what she wants

I'll probably be the last to know
No one says until it shows
See how it is...
They want you or they don't

Say Yes

I'm in love
With the world
Through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
