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'd 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
|
You've got so many little things to do
|
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
|
|
Then 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
|
You've got so many little things to do
|
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 could 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
