Lyrics Anticipate - Ani DiFranco

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 theres no light passing through
And you think that I dont understand
But I do We dont 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 dont know
Is someone you dont 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 everyones an actor
Or theyre an actors 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 theres anything Ive learned
All these years on my own
Its how to find my own way there
And how to find my own way back home
