Twilight
Elliott Smith
From A Basement On The Hill (2004)

Haven't laughed this hard in a long time,
I better stop now before I start crying.
Go off to sleep in the sunshine,
I don't want to see the day when it's dying.

She's a sight to see, she's good to me,
I'm already somebody's baby.
She's a pretty thing and she knows everything,
But I'm already somebody's baby.

You don't deserve to be lonely,
But those drugs you got won't make you feel better.
Pretty soon you'll find it's the only
Little part of your life you're keeping together.

I'm nice to you, I could make it through
That you're already somebody's baby.
I could make you smile if you stayed a while
But how long will you stay with me baby?

Because your candle burns too bright
Well, I almost forgot it was twilight.
Even if I think that you are right
Well, I'm tired of being down, I got no fight.

You're wonderful, when it's beautiful,
But I'm already somebody's baby.
And if I went with you I'd disappoint you too.
Well, I'm already somebody's baby.

Already somebody's baby.
