If Anybody Needs Me Lyrics

Sammy said they might stop renting that studio space

We met for coffee and a smoke in Medford Lakes

Said they're tired of taking the long road outta here

With two packets of sugar and a cig behind their ear

I tell em they can do this...

All they gotta do is start...

But Sammy says the soul searching's gotta be the hardest part

They say, "If anybody needs me

I'll be right where you left me, just twisting in the wind

And maybe it should be easy

But all the small talk on the long walk gets under my skin"

Sammy's getting older waiting for their life to start

Lotta vacancies and mysteries up in their hotel heart

Betting on an magnum opus that's waiting just a few years out

Til then they're stuck kicking back against the pricks this piney town

I tell em they can do this...

They ask if I'll stay for a while…

Then hid it right behind an "I don't mean that" smile.

They say, "If anybody needs me

I'll be right where you left me, just twisting in the wind…

And maybe it should be easy

But all the small talk on the long walk get under my skin."

They say, "If anybody needs me

I'll be right where we grew up, trying to shake loose something real

And I know I don't make it easy...

The truth is I won't make it, but hey man, that's the deal."
