lyrics

I’ve thought quite a lot about this
It’s gone round in my head
From all the rolling around
Mostly it’s been done after dark, alone in my bed
Two feet from the ground
And a mile from the sense that the light tries to make

When I try to call, when I start to shake
When I’m standing in the backyard
With my guitar in the shade of the rain
Couldn’t you tell me without having to ask?
Blink once for yes, I’ll wave back
Didn’t believe it so leave it with all your achievements in vain

I’m not one to talk about this
But since you asked
I guess I’ll give you the gist
Mostly it’s been push and then pull
I thought you above me, then I thought you below
It’s so easy to forget that it hasn’t come to blows

When I try to call, when I start to shake
When I’m standing in the backyard
With my guitar in the shade of the rain
Couldn’t you tell me without having to ask?
Blink once for yes, I’ll wave back
Didn’t believe it so leave it with all your achievements in vain

When I try to call, I wait ‘til it’s too late
I never feel like doing nothing it just kind of happens that way
