Ani Difranco - To Be Free lyrics

On the underside of your salutation I can hear you turning inward Hello is such a thin word You're going to have to hide doubletime from me Cuz i read our poetry, and i can see when it doesn't rhyme You said you either wanted me home Or you wanted to be alone[?] Or you wanted to be alone And i felt you decide I have heard all the words you hold inside We were knitted like yarn In the morning you were the snooze bu*ton on my alarm And now goodnight is just the gesture of an arm Well i think i understand But i don't think i agree Sometimes i want to amend And sometimes i just want to be free If we can try forgiving If we can try to go on living Like some kind of amateur team Anyone can see that love Is waiting u s more than m e That's for me Please
