In My Corner

I met you in a hallway Drinking coffee out of Styrofoam You said, "I should've brought my own mug" I said, "yeah me too" You said, "well what can you do?" Take my number down We can meet up when we're both in town I found you in a parking lot Leaning on somebody's car You said, "don't worry I'm quitting" I said, "yeah i believe you" There's nothing you can't breathe through Even when money's tight We all got demons that keep us up at night It's never been easy With you on my mind But I am in your corner And you are in mine I saw you at The Fonda I saw you at The Troubadour When you put me on the door With a plus one It was night one And I think it was June Couldn't remember the name of that one tune Temporary tattoo of hot dog One night out I always wake up wondering If I've been running my mouth You know I'm always wandering I never get very far Just end up retracing old scars It's never been easy With you on my mind But I am in your corner And you are in mine I spend a day riding cabs in LA And never getting anywhere (never getting anywhere) I left my bags on a chair I'm never getting anywhere (never getting anywhere) Sometimes I'm just overwhelmed with despair I think I'm never getting anywhere (never getting anywhere) It's never been easy With you on my mind But I am in your corner And you are in mine
