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
