My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."
I am not worried, I am not overly concerned
My friend implores me, "For one time only,
Make an exception."I am not worried
Wrap her up in a package of lies. Send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried. I am not overly concerned
with the status of my emotions. "Oh," she says, "you're changing."
But we're always changing. It does not bother me to say
this isn't love
cause if you don't want to talk about it then... it isn't love
And I guess I'm gonna have to live with that
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey
Or something in between
And I can always change my name
If that's what you mean
My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."
But I am not really worried. I am not overly concerned
You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself
To make yourself forget. To make yourself forget, I am not worried...
"If it's love," she said,
"then we're gonna have to think about the consequences."
She can't stop shaking I can't stop touching her and
This time when kindness falls like rain, it washes her away
and Anna begins... to change her mind
"These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days",
she says: " and I am not ready for this sort of thing "
But I'm not going to break
And I'm not going to worry about it anymore
I'm not going to bend and I'm not going to break
And I'm not going to worry about it anymore
It seems like I should say, "As long as this is love..."
But it's not all that easy... so maybe I should
Snap her up in a butterfly net
Pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried; I've done this sort of thing before
But then I start to think about the consequences
cause I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and
This time when kindness falls like rain it washes me away
and Anna begins... to change my mind
And everytime she sneezes I believe it's love and
Oh Lord, I am not ready for this sort of thing
She's talking in her sleep, it's keeping me awake
and Anna begins... to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense but I understand and
Oh Lord, I am not ready for this sort of thing
Her kindness bangs a gong, it's moving me along
and Anna begins... to fade away
It's chasing me away. She disappears and
Oh Lord, I am not ready for this sort of thing
