Emerson Graves - They Still Don't Believe Us (The Coat Song) Lyrics

I'm just a little less upset
About the things that I can't seem to forget

Somewhere along the line
I lost my ticket
Earned a fine
But they didn't listen when I said it was stolen away

And it hurts to say yet not at all
That my own rise and fall
Was inspired by Nabokov
Just far less pretty

I took my favorite coat
Threw it in the river and watched it float
Took off my skin and left it there too
Hoped the birds would eat it or something near to
Anything to get rid of the memory
Of your hands touching me

And know some day this will end
And I will be loved again

Just not today
No not today
I'll just breathe today
I'll love myself today
And I'll be ok
Today
