LIZ PHAIR: I know it's not easy

Call me when you think the coast is clear I've been hiding out almost a year Is there something wrong? What's taking you so long? And yeah, I know it's not easy You said if I waited it'd pay off But my eyes are growing wild and my body's gone soft Is there something wrong? What's taking you so long? And yeah, I know it's not easy You said I should let go of your hand But I don't even know if I can You're the only one You are the very sun to me And you know it's not easy You'd tell me, wouldn't you, if we needed to talk? And you'd tell me, wouldn't you, if I had pissed you off? Is there something wrong? What's taking you so long? And yeah, I know it's not easy Well I look at the stars and I know you're under them I look at the cars and I know you insure them I look at the books and things people are reading I know that you've written them, too But then I look at my life and I know you've forgotten the promise you made to me I think that's rotten I'm hopelessly lost and there's hardly a sound anymore Coming through that can show me around Cause I'm endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd Looking for something from you Just one fucking measly clue Any shitty little tip-off would do But I'm just an ant in Alaska to you Well I look at the stars and I know you're under them I look at the cars and I know you insure them I look at the books and the things people are reading I know that you've written them, too But then I look at my life and I know you've forgotten the promise you made to me I think that's rotten I'm hopelessly lost and there's hardly a sound anymore Coming through that can show me around Cause I'm endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd Looking for something from you Just one fucking measly clue Any shitty little tip-off would do But I'm just and ant in Alaska to you I'm just an ant in Alaska An ant in Alaska An ant in Alaska to you
