I heard you’re dropping out
Do you really think that you could
I wish I was dropping out, too.
I’m somewhere they tell me I need to be
Because it’s right for them
They think it’s right for me
I stood out in the rain
In my bare feet
I should have known you’d be doing the same
You never looked so alone
So baby if there’s somewhere you’d rather be
By all means
You asked if I was ok
Yeah it’s probably just as well
If I am or if I ain’t
I feel pressure from every direction
And there are things I wish that I would say
Baby there are places I’d rather be
And someday I think I might really leave
But I wouldn’t do that for you
I’d do that for me
You found a way out
But you wouldn’t show me how
And that’s how I found out
That everybody’s in this for themselves
And I wouldn’t do that for you
I’d do that for me
Imposing, echo-drenched, and soulful, James Apollo’s “accidental live record” captures the singer at the peak of his powers. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 15, 2016
