Lyrics for Shy by Ani Difranco:
| | | Artist: | Ani Difranco |
| | Album: | Not A Pretty Girl | | Track: | Shy | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 61 | | | | Lyrics: | the heat is so great
it plays tricks with the eye
it turns the road to water
/>
and then from water to sky
and there's a crack in the concrete floor
and it starts
at the sink
there's a bathroom in a gas station
and i've locked myself in it to
think
and back in the city
the sun bakes the trash on the curb
the men
are pissing in doorways
and the rats run in herds
i've got a dream of your face
/>
that scares me awake
i put too much on my table
and now i got too much at stake
/>
and i might let you off easy
yeah i might lead you on
i might wait for you
to look for me
and then i might be gone
where i come from and where i'm going
/>
and i'm lost in between
i might go up to that phone booth
and leave a veiled
invitation on your machine
and you'll stop me, won't you
if you've heard this
one before
the one where i surprise you
by showing up at your front door
saying
'let's not ask what's next,
or how, or why'
i am leaving in the morning
so
let's not be shy
the door opens, the room winces
the housekeeper comes in
without a warning
and i squint at the muscular motel lady
says 'hey good morning'
/>
and she jumps, her keys jingle
and she leaves as quick as she came in
and i roll
over and taste the pillow with my grin
well, the sheets are twisted and tangled
and
the heat is so great
and i swear i can feel the mattress
sinking underneath your
weight
oh sleep is like a fever
and I'm glad when it ends
and the road flows
like a river
and pulls me around every bend
and you'll stop me, won't you
/>
if you've heard this one before
the one where i surprise you
by showing up at your
front door
saying 'let's not ask what's next,
or how, or why'
i am leaving in
the morning
so let's not be shy
the heat is so great
it plays tricks
with the eye
it turns road to water
and water to sky
and there's
a crack in the concrete floor
and it starts at the sink
there's a bathroom in a gas
station
and i've locked myself
in it to think
and you'll stop me, won't
you
you've heard this one before
the one where i surprise you
by showing up at
your front door
saying 'let's not ask what's next,
or how, or why'
i am leaving
in the morning
so let's not be shy | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
