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
