Louden Swain Louden Swain - Downtown Letdown

The sun is high, I'm waking up
And I think I might finally be giving up
Boots are thight when I'm standing up
They tap to the glass of my half empty cup

And you say: Change your ways
But I really don't think that I could
I've been walking around
With my head hanging down
And I really don't think that I should
I'm gonna head downtown
Let down

I can't hide behind your preconceived
Notions of who you think I should be
Hold my tongue if you have a vice
If you press hard enough I might try to play nice

And you say: Change your ways
But I really don't think that I could
I've been walking around
With my head hanging down
And I really don't think that I should
I'm gonna head downtown
Let down

I don't want be what I'm not
It's wasted energy
Nothing left for me
I am dying if I'm not elated
I'm giving
If I don't feel a beating (heart)
And I don't feel a beating (heart)
No, I don't feel not beating (heart)
No, I don't feel not beating heart

The moon is mine and I'm heading up
And I think I will rise, I'll rise up
The moon is mine and I've had enough
But I think I will rise
I will rise up, up

And you say: Change your ways
But I really don't think that I could
I've been walking round
With my head hanging down
I'm gonna head downtown

Let down
Let down
Let down
Let down
Let down
