Come to Me Lyrics
I'm not used coming through
More accustomed to a-fallin' out
Trying hard now as I can for you
Not to trip up on some stupid doubt
You got your hopes set way up high
Way on up there where the air is thin
Limit's supposed to be the sky
Trying not to let you down again
It's starting to come to me
I didn't know about, I hadn't figured it out
But it's starting to come to me now
A little bit too late
I can't see anything you've done
Any reason for the trouble you've got
You haven't hurt anyone
Compared to most, I'd say that's sayin' quite a lot
I can't help you when you're sad
That's a constant source of pain to me
Because I want to really bad
Even though you make it seem like nothing
It's starting to come to me
Didn't know about, I hadn't figured it out
But it's starting to come to me now
A little bit too late
More accustomed to a-fallin' out
Trying hard now as I can for you
Not to trip up on some stupid doubt
You got your hopes set way up high
Way on up there where the air is thin
Limit's supposed to be the sky
Trying not to let you down again
I didn't know about, I hadn't figured it out
But it's starting to come to me now
A little bit too late
Any reason for the trouble you've got
You haven't hurt anyone
Compared to most, I'd say that's sayin' quite a lot
I can't help you when you're sad
That's a constant source of pain to me
Because I want to really bad
Even though you make it seem like nothing
Didn't know about, I hadn't figured it out
But it's starting to come to me now
A little bit too late

Yet another raw, beautiful E.S. song that kills me every time I hear it.
It's a pity that songs there are so many of these songs that he never released on an album. I feel like a lot of them are his best.
sounds like a conversation between two people who care about eachother. one person is depressed and the other wants to help that person but they can not because its almost impossible to really help someone in that situation. Maybe the the person who is worried is coming to the realization that they should have seen the problem earlier, before it was too late.
This song is actually You make it seem like nothing.
No, it's actually Come to Me.
haha, no, it's not "come to me."
"Fritz Michaud, who recorded some of the songs from "From a Basement on the Hill", provided this website with Elliott's song titles for some of the live unreleased songs that have been floating around the internet. Mistaken Fan Title -> Elliott's Title Come to Me -> You Make It Seem Like Nothing"
I let my girl slip away from me. I told myself that we were mutually splitting up, but I knew somewhere inside that I was letting it happen to save here from my toxic nature. I thought that I was unhappy with her and myself at the time, and that I couldn't or wouldn't give her what she needed and deserved. Enough time has passed since then that I came to realize that she was my entire life's meaning and that I haven't known happiness at all since we split. I know now what I'm willing and capable of doing to make it work, just a little too late. I've always loved Elliott's writings, but the pain shines too hard when you begin to relate.
