A place in the world

A place in the world Lyrics

(Mary-Chapin Carpenter)

I¡¯m standing here freezing at a phone booth baby
In the middle of God knows where
I got one quarter left your machine packs up
But baby I know you¡¯re there

And I just start crying ¡®cause it makes no sense
To waste these words and twenty-five cents
On a losing game
Baby you win again

I¡¯ve been turning it over and over again
Like a stone I¡¯m waiting to wish on
I¡¯ve been holding my breath just wondering when
You¡¯ll make some sort of decision
To let me in or let me go
I¡¯ll always lose if I never know
Where I fit in
Baby you win again

I can¡¯t be right if I¡¯m always wrong
I can¡¯t stand up if I¡¯m always kneeling
At your altar or at your throne
You could show just a little feeling
For who I am
Baby you win again

Last night I dreamed we were standing here
On the corner of love and heartache
You jumped into your car you found first gear
And baby I felt the earth shake
And I woke up trembling with my heart in my throat
'Cause there¡¯s never a look a word or a note
At the bitter end
Baby you win again

I can¡¯t be right if I¡¯m always wrong
I can¡¯t stand up if I¡¯m always kneeling
At your altar or at your throne
You could show just a little feeling
For who I am
Baby you win again
Baby you win again
Baby you win again
