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
ohyou 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 gripgirl
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
and how to find my own way back home
