Awhile back I put this song on one of my mix CDS. One night my wife & I happened to be listening to the CD before bed and this song came on. She asked why I'd put it on the CD. I told her to pay attention to the lyrics.
Being Me
by: Pat Dailey
I never set a clock to wake me up
I leave that to the coffee in my cup
And as the world assembles
I will be the absentee
That's just what it's like being me
I am a man who wants no telephone
I have no need to speak when I'm alone
My friends say I'm reclusive
Well I guess I would agree
That's just what it's like being me
I spend my days thinking of the song
Sometimes all the words just come out wrong
On those days I do nothing
but just sit down by the sea
That's just what it's like being me
One time I tried to throw my heart around
But it wound up in pieces on the ground
Now I make no promise and I get no guarantee
That's just what it's like being me
Nothing lasts forever so they say
And tomorrow is not mine like yesterday
So I hold on to these passing moments most tenaciously
That's just what it's like being me
And I never set a clock to wake me up
I leave that to the coffee in my cup
And as the world assembles I will be the absentee
That's just what it's like being me
When the song was finished she looked at me and said, "that song is so you." She's absolutely right, I've never heard any other songs that I could relate to on the level I relate to this one.

Do you have the lyrics for "two of a kind" and " your there " ?
