Story Behind The Song
A song recalling the night we found an old chair on the corner in Brooklyn; our first piece of furniture for our new life together. "It seems like all that I want these days are the things that somebody else threw away." It's a metaphor for people who have loved and lost and found love again.

Lyrics
The Chair Song
©Renaissance Boy Recordings
Meet me on the corner where
That summer night we found that chair
And it was all ripped up but we didn?t mind
It was such a cool chair
It was such a cool find
Did you ever think of then
Where we?d be now
Would we be friends?
There was never any doubt in mind
That I?d be with you ?til the end of time.
It seems like all I that want these days
Are the things that somebody else threw away.
I could never figure out
Why your old man would kick you out
But I sure am glad that he set you free
Cause without you I could never be me
It seems like all I that want these days
Are the things that somebody else threw away.
Everywhere I turn she?s there
I hear her laugh; I smell her hair
And everytime I think I?ll be alright?
She comes crashing down like a storm on me
I?m a birthday candle on a cake in the breeze
Delilah, come talk to me
Oh, Delilah, come talk to me
Come set me free
Come set me free
All that I want these days
Are the things that somebody else threw away.
Oh, yeah it seems that all that I want these days
Are the things that somebody else threw away.
Meet me on the corner where
That summer night we found that chair
And it was all ripped up but we didn?t mind
It was such a cool chair
It was such a cool find
All that I want these days
Are the things that somebody else threw away.
Oh, yeah it seems that all that I want these days
Are the things that somebody else threw away.
