Ani Difranco - Submerged Lyrics
well your arms hang parallel to the curtainsyour gaze falls perpendicular to the flooryour resign yourself to the hurtingthe lines in your brow are deeper than beforedon't misunderstandI just wanna be your friendwell a phone call is a phone callis not the means to an endyour t-shirt's white across your chestloose around your neckyour eyes come to rest on my faceindirect, there's been tears shopping here?in the market for solutions, you know, its so hard to find clear answersthese daysI think that a thing of the pastthey just don't make them to last anymoreand it seems to me I'll miss love in the effort it infersand her legs are longerbut mine are stronger than hersand I told you I wouldn't hold you downI would only make you happy and I wouldn't let you drownnow you say you're submerged in mewell I'm out here writing dirgescan't you see I need to be free?you laugh and you smile and you say you'll agreebut you continue with your kissesoh you love those near-missescan't you see the only thing I askthe only slantis the only thing you won't grant mejust turn out the lightunlock the doortell me you feel alright, even better than beforeshow me you can be strongits all I wanted all along
