COUNTING CROWS - Anna Begins lyrics

rate me

My friend assures me it's all or nothing<br>I am not worried- I am not overly concerned<br>My friend implores me for one time only,<br>Make an exception. I am not not worried<br>Wrap her up in a package of lies<br>Send her off to a coconut island<br>I am not worried - I am not overly concerned<br>With the status of my emotions<br>Oh, she says, were changing.<br>But were always changing<br>It does not bother me to say this isn't love<br>Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love<br>And I guess I'm going to have to live that<br>But, I'm sure there's something in a shade of gray<br>Or something in between<br>And I can always change my name if that's what you mean<br>My friend assures me it's all or nothing`<br>But I am not really worried<br>I am not overly concerned<br>You try to tell your self the things you try tell your self to make<br>Yourself forget<br>To make your self forget<br>I am not worried<br>If it's love she said, then were gonna have to think about the<br>Consequences<br>She can't stop shaking and I can t stop touching her and.....<br>This time when kindness falls like rain<br>It washes her away and anna begins to change her mind<br>These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering<br>For days she says.<br>And I'm not ready for this sort of thing<br>But I'm not gonna break<br>And I'm not going to worry about it anymore<br>I'm not gonna bend. and I'm not gonna break and<br>I'm not gonna worry about it anymore<br>It seems like I should say as long as this is love...<br>But it's not all that easy so maybe I should just<br>Snap her up in a butterfly net-<br>Pin her down on a photograph album<br>I am not worried<br>I've done this sort of thing before<br>But then I start to think about the consequences<br>Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and...<br>The time when kindness falls like rain<br>It washes me away and anna begins change my mind<br>And every time she sneezes I believe it's love<br>And oh lord.... I'm not ready for this sort of thing<br>She s talking in her sleep-it s keeping me awake<br>And anna begins to toss and turn<br>And every word is nonsense but I understand it and<br>Oh lord. I m not ready for this sort of thing<br>Her kindness bangs a gong<br>It's moving me along and anna begins to fade away<br>It s chasing me away. she dissappears, and oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing
