Both Hands
Ani diFranco - Like I Said
i am walking out in the rainand i am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
and i am getting nowhere with you
and i can't let it go and i can't get through
and the old woman behind the pink curtain
and the closed door on the first floor
she's listening through the air shaft
to see how long our swan song can last
and both hands
now use both hands
oh no don't close your eyes
i am writing graffiti on your body
i am drawing the story of how hard we tried
how hard we tried
i am watching your chest rise and fall
like the tides of my life and the rest of it all
and your bones have been my bedframe
and your flesh has been my pillow
i've been waiting for sleep
to offer up the deep with both hands
oh with both hands
well in each other's shadow we grew less and less tall
and eventually your theories couldn't explain it all
and i'm recording the history now on the bedroom wall
and when we leave the landlord will come
and paint over it all
i'm walking out in the rain
and i am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
and i am getting nowhere with you
and i can't let it go and i can't get through
both hands
now use both hands
oh no don't close your eyes
i am writing graffiti on your body
i am drawing the story of how hard we tried
how hard we tried
how hard we tried
