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
