Anna Begins

My friend assures me it's all or nothing,
But I am not really worried, I am not overly concerned
My friend implores me, for one time only,
Make an exception, I am not worried
Wrap her up in a package of lies
Send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried, I am not overly concerned
This isn't love,
And if you don't want to talk about it
This isn't love,
And I'm going to have to live that
But, I'm sure there's something in a shade of gray
Or something in between
And I can always change my name if that's what you mean
My friend assures me it's all or nothing'
But I am not really worried
I am not overly concerned
You try to tell your self the things you try tell your self to make
Yourself forget
To make your self forget
I am not worried
This isn't love
She can't stop shaking and I can't stop touching her and...
This time when kindness falls like rain
It washes her away and anna begins to change her mind
These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering
For days, she says and I'm not ready for this sort of thing
But I'm not gonna break
And I'm not going to worry about it anymore
I'm not gonna bend and I'm not gonna break
I'm not gonna worry about it anymore
It seems like I should say as long as this is love...
Maybe I should just snap her up in a butterfly net
Pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried
I've done this sort of thing before
But then I start to think about the consequences
Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and...
The time when kindness falls like rain
It washes me away and anna begins change my mind
And every time she sneezes I believe it's love
And oh lord... I'm not ready for this sort of thing
talking in her sleep, its keeping me awake
And anna begins to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense but I understand it
and Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
Her kindness bangs a gong
And anna begins to fade away
Its chasing me away.
Her kindness bangs a gong
And anna begins to fade away
Its chasing me away.
she disappears,
and oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing.
