Ani Difranco You Each Time Lyrics

You Each Time Lyrics

There you were day after day

Six feet

Twenty feet

Two feet away

Right in my pocket singin' me a song

Makin' my heart race all day long



And we talked it out and we talked it down

But your eyes were not listening

And my ears were looking around

For another song to sing

But it was you each time

It was you



And the answer to each moment must be yes

And the question, can you live with that?

Becomes the test

So you weigh it against that aching in your chest

And that secretly relentless emptiness



And you talk it out and you talk it down

But your eyes are not listening

And my ears are runnin' around

Lookin' for another song to sing

But it is you each time

It is you, it is you, it is you



So my heart finally broke

It was so long bent

And it broke in three places

When it finally went

It wanted only to say what it meant

So it suffered every punishment



Now it lives in a shack outside of town

And only the wolves are out there listenin'

And in her dreams they chase her down

Their moonlit eyes are glistening

And it is you each time

It is you, it is you, it is you

It is you, it is you, it is you
