Ani Difranco - ANTICIPATE lyrics

rate me

You are subtle as a window pane

Standing in my view

But I will wait for it to rain

So that I can see you

You call me up at night

When there's no light passing through

And you think that I don't understand

But I do

We don't say everything that we could

So that we can say later

Oh, you misunderstood

I hold my cards up

Close to my chest

I say what I have to

And I hold back the rest

'Cause someone you don't know

Is someone you don't know

Get a firm grip, girl

Before you let go

For every hand extended

Another lies in wait

Keep your eye on that one

Anticipate

Dress down get out there

Pick a fight with the police

We will get it all on film

For the new release

Seems like everyone's an actor

Or they're an actor's best friend

I wonder what was wrong to begin with

That they should all have to pretend

We lost sight of everything

When we have to keep checking our backs

I think we should all just smile

Come clean and relax

If there's anything I've learned

All these years on my own

It's how to find my own way there
