The Bottom Shelf Lyrics by Daniel Boxx

You’re My Friends

2019

[Verse 1]
Hey, kid, what do you
Wanna be when you grow up?
Do you believe in love
Or does the thought of it
Make you wanna throw up?
And when you finally break on through
Will you be chasing dreams
Or will you follow their lead
Like you're supposed to?

[Chorus]
And if you keep on lyin' to yourself
You'll never get anywhere
They'll keep you on the bottom shelf
And if you seek advice
You'll find that no one cares
Life's unfair and misery is everywhere

[Verse 2]
Hey, man, I wasn't talking to you
It's been twenty-two years
And by now you should know what you gotta do

[Chorus]
But if you keep on lyin' to yourself
You'll never get anywhere
They'll keep you on the bottom shelf
And if you seek advice
You'll find you just can't win with them
Happiness comes from within
