Ani Difranco Half-assed Lyrics

Half-assed Lyrics

You start tripping

And I start slipping away

I was taught to zip it

If I got nothing nice to say



And down in the Texas of my heart

Driving a really big truck

Headed down a dirt road

My love is scrunching up its features

The really big eyes, big lips, big nose



Just show me a moment that is mine

Its beauty blinding and unsurpassed

Make me forget every moment that went by

And left me so half-hearted

'Cuz I felt it so half-assed



You are an unruly, translucent

A dirty windshield with a shifting view

So many cunning running landscapes

For my dented door to open into



I just wanna tune out all the billboards

Weld myself a mental shield

I just wanna put down all the pressures

And feel how I really feel



Just show me a moment that is mine

Its beauty blinding and unsurpassed

Make me forget every moment that went by

And left me so half-hearted

'Cuz I felt it so half-assed



Spring is super in the supermarkets

And the strawberries prance and glow

Never mind that they're all kinda tart

And tasteless as strawberries go



Meanwhile, wild things are not for sale

Anymore than they are for show

So I'll be outside

In love with the kind of beauty

It takes more than eyes to know



Just show me a moment that is mine

Its beauty blinding and unsurpassed

And I'll forget every moment that went by

And left me so half-hearted

'Cuz I felt it so half-assed
