Ani Difranco - Both Hands lyrics

I am walking Out in the rain And I am listening to the low moan Of the dial tone again And I am getting Nowhere with you And I can't let it go And I can't get through And the old woman Behind the pink curtains And the closed door On the first floor She is listening to the air shaft To see how long our swan song will last And both hands Now use both hands Oh no, don't close your eyes I am writing Graffiti all over your body I am drawing the story of How hard we tried How hard we tried And I am watching your chest Rise and fall Like the tides of my life And the rest of it all And your bones have been my bed frame And your flesh has been my pillow And I've been waiting for sleep To offer up the deep With both hands Oh, with both hands And in each other's shadow We've grown less and less tall And eventually our theories Didn't explain it all And now I'm writing our history Up on the bedroom wall And when we leave the landlord will come And paint over it all And I'm walking Out in the rain And I am listening to the low moan Of the dial tone again And I am getting Nowhere with you And I can't let it go And I can't get through And both hands Yes use both hands Oh no don't close your eyes I am writing Graffiti on your body I am drawing the story of How hard we tried How hard we tried How hard we tried
