Story Behind The Song

Seeing and experiencing a bit to much of the betrrayal that happens every day in coporate America and liking "Corner of the Word" as a song title.

Song Description

Song sung by a guy reassuringly to a girl who's been betrayed by friends and other acquaintances. He assures her that she'l always have a place in his corner of the world -- although he's an unreliable narrator. We're not sure if he's sincere or just another devious friend or lover.

Lyrics

Corner of the World

Another perfect pitch, another sale made for their side
And now you turn and run because you cannot turn and hide
They told you over and over 'til you went along for the ride
But you have a place in my corner of the world
No bitter taste in my corner of the world
Sweet love and grace in my corner of the world.
Your game face on again
A ballerina with a gun
Danced to a siren song, now will you go or come undone
You're reeling and faking your feelings cause you lost what you thought you'd won
You have a place in my corner of the world
No bitter taste in my corner of the world
Sweet love and grace in my corner of the world
Don't let them take you down that path
You're not a master of that craft
Takes one to know
So cut your losses, keep your half
Then someday look back and laugh
And let it go, let it go, let it go
Some say you sold your soul
They raised a glass, lowered the boom
But you know better now
They paid the rent, you got the room
The bridges may burn and the tables may turn
But they won't turn on you
You have a place, you have a place, you have a place.
