Anticipate - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
you are subtle as a window panestanding in my viewbut I will wait for it to rainso that I can see youyou call me up at nightwhen there's no light passing throughand you think that I don't understandbut I dowe don't say everything that we couldso that we can say lateroh, you misunderstood
I hold my cards upclose to my chest
I say what I have toand I hold back the rest'cause someone you don't knowis someone you don't knowget a firm grip, girlbefore you let gofor every hand extendedanother lies in waitkeep your eye on that oneanticipatedress down get out therepick a fight with the policewe will get it all on filmfor the new releaseseems like everyone's an actoror they're an actor's best friend
I wonder what was wrong to begin withthat they should all have to pretendwe lost sight of everythingwhen we have to keep checking our backs
I think we should all just smilecome cleanand relaxif there's anything I've learnedall these years on my ownit's how to find my own way thereand how to find my own way back home
