Lyrics What Are You Like - Indigo Girls

What Are You Like

Today my mind is drawing a blank
I canvas you to color this in There’s no gas left in the tank
You’ve always got your engine running
You’ve got no whip when the beast lays down
And feeds upon the rest he’s finally found
What are you like?
My open door revolver
What are you like?
My go to problem solver
You shine a light in the darkest corners of my mind
What are you like?
You’re that kind
I cover mirrors with the clocks (cover mirrors with the clocks)
I’m getting superstious lately (you don’t ever brush it off)
But you don’t ever brush it off (you won’t cover me to safety)
You won’t cover me to safety
While I’m sitting on this couch
You’re up and figuring it out
What are you like?
My open door revolver
What are you like?
My go to problem solver
You shine a light in the darkest corners of my mind
What are you like?
The Greek chorus of our little play
You’ll explain me when I act this way
And as we go along
The unwritten song breaks through
And it’s all about you
What are you like?
(You're an open door)
What are you like?
(You're the best and more)
What are you like?
(You're a sacred text)
What are you like?
(You're what’s coming next)
What are you like?
(You're my open door
