John Wesley Harding
Me Against Me
[Verse 1]
Tonight the clocks go backwards
And it's snowing at home
We're incommunicado
'Cause they cut off the phones
We're in collaboration
Against everyone who tries to bring us down
We're sadly incoherent
All our sorrows have been drowned

[Verse 2]
Got the plane out of Atlanta
Stripped the honour bar of booze
Saw the ceiling melt like candles
Dripping wax onto my shoes
Needed proof I was still breathing
So I held my breath for a while
Fell flat on my face on purpose
So I could see somebody smile

[Chorus]
And they say that it's them and it's us
And they say that it's you and it's me
Now I can see that it's me against me
Against me against me against me against me
[Verse 3]
Keep your picture in a locket
Heart-shape hanging around my neck
You put it on me last year sometime
Now the catch is just a wreck
My new friends say that you look like me
And of course, they're right
But you're who I used to be
Sometimes late at night

[Chorus]
And they say that it's them and it's us
And they say that it's you and it's me
Now I can see that it's me against me
Against me against me against me against me

[Bridge]
All the things we've done, think we should own up
How come we're old but we're not grown up?

[Verse 4]
I wish I didn't drink so much
I wish I didn't drink at all
Wish I didn't need these smokes
I wish I didn't take those pills
I wish for just one time
My behaviour matched up to my needs
I wish you were alive now
Then you could help me
[Chorus]
And they say that it's them and it's us
And they say that it's you and it's me
Now I can see that it's me against me against me
And they say that it's them and it's us
And they'll tell you it's you and it's me
Now I can see that it's me against me
Against me against me against me against
Me against me against me against me against me
Me against me against me against me against me
Against me against me against me against me
Against me against me against me against me

[Outro]
Against me now, against me now, against me now
Against me now, against me now
Against me now
