Over The Rhine - Happy With Myself? Lyrics

Happy With Myself?
words: Bergquist and Detweiler
music: Bergquist
recording: Eve

I'm happy with myself
I'm happy with myself
and I don't have what it takes to please you

I've been trying to write you a letter
I've been trying for two or three years
maybe I could just say it better
practice some in front of a mirror here oh

I've been trying to build you a heaven
crowns of thorns in Mason Jars
angels that dance on pins and needles
maybe I've tried a little too hard oh
