there you were day after day   six feet    twenty feet    two feet away   right in my pocket singin me a song   makin my heart race all day long      and we talked it out and we talked it down   but your eyes were not listening   and my ears were looking around   for another song to sing   but it was you each time   it was you      the answer to each moment must be yes   and the question: can you live with that?   becomes the test   so you weigh it against that aching in your chest   and that secretly relentless emptiness      and you talk it out and you talk it down   but your eyes are not listening   and my ears are running around   looking for another song to sing   but it is you each time   it is you      so my heart finally broke   it was so long bent   and it broke in three places    when it finally went   it wanted only to say what it meant   so it suffered every punishment      now it lives in a shack outside of town   and only the wolves are out there listening   and in her dreams they chase her down   their moonlit eyes are glistening   and it is you each time   it is you
