I stand accused just like you
For being born without a silver spoon
Stood at the top of a hill
Over my town I was found

I've been on the shelf too long
Sitting at home in my bed too long
Got my things and now I'm gone
How's the world gonna from take me?

Finding myself used to be hard
But now I see the light
If love is a drug
Then I don't need it

I've been on the shelf too long
Sitting at home in my bed too long
Now it's time to hear my song
How are you gonna take it?

I've been on the shelf too long
Think the words without the song
Never had a way to go
Tell me now I'll take it

I've been on the shelf too long
I've been on the shelf too long
I've been on the shelf too long
We've got a lot of living to do

There's a door in my mind that's open wide
Come inside, come inside
Jesus never saved me
He'll never save you too, and you know!

I've got a little sticker on the back of my boot
This is music
And now I see the light shining bright in my eyes
If love is the drug then it ain't for me

Well music is my life
And loved by me
I'm gonna move on the floor with my sweet young thing
Down, down, down we go till I reach the bottom
Of our soul with this is music

    This song is kinda like Bittersweet Symph. since both involve music and life but This is Music views it (music) as all the things simonflay states and Bittersweet views music as a soundtrack
