Difranco Ani Anticipate Lyrics

Anticipate Lyrics

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
oh,
you 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 grip, girl
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
