Pearl Jam I Got Shit Lyrics

My lips are shakin
My nails are bit off
Its been a month since Ive heard myself talk
Only advantage this lifes got on me
Picture an empty cup in the middle of the sea

And I fought back in my mind
Never lets me be right...
I got memories, I got s___
So much it dont show...

Oh, I walked the line...
When you held me in at night
Oh, I walked the line...
When you held my hand and i...

On empty shells seem so easy to crack
Got all these questions
Dont know who I could even ask
So Ill just lie down and wait for the dream
Where Im not ugly and youre lookin at me

And Ill stay in bed...
Oh, little Ive seen there
If just once I could be loved...
Oh, Id stare back at me

Oh, I walked the line...
When you held me in at night
Oh, I walked the line...
When you held my hand and i
Oh, I walked the line...
When you held me close at night
Oh, I paid the price...
Never held you in real life

Vedder stated that "[Neil Young] gave me a song writing lesson at a half-price rate; this is what I came up with...on my final, he gave me a B+ I think." At Pearl Jam's May 10, 2006 concert in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at the Air Canada Centre, Vedder revealed that the song's chorus melody was inspired by the verse melody in Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl" from the 1969 album, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.
