Self Portrait of a New Yorker Lyrics by James Tillman

Silk Noise Reflex

2016

Sitting all alone again
Here I find myself alone again
But I don't know what it is
Do I push people away
Or am I shy?
Maybe I'm shy
Sitting all by myself
All I've got is me and my good health
But I want more
Something real
That'll feel like more than run of the mill
Run of the mill
Sitting all alone again
Here I find myself alone again
But I don't know what it is
Do I push people away
Or am I shy?
Maybe I'm shy
Sitting all by myself
All I've got is me and my good health
But I want more
Something real
That'll feel like more than run of the mill
More than run of the mill
More than run of the mill
More than run of the mill
More than run of the mill
More than run of the mill
More than run of the mill
More than run of the mill
I want a love that's more than run of the mill
