Title: Anticipate

Lyrics Anticipate

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 hold back the rest

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 an eye on that one
Anticipate

Dress down and get out there
Pick a fight with the police
We’ll 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 lose 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
