Call me when you think the coast is clear   I've been hiding out almost a year   Is there something wrong?   What's taking you so long?   And yeah, I know it's not easy      You said if I waited it'd pay off   But my eyes are growing wild and my body's gone soft   Is there something wrong?   What's taking you so long?   And yeah, I know it's not easy      You said I should let go of your hand   But I don't even know if I can   You're the only one   You are the very sun to me   And you know it's not easy      You'd tell me, wouldn't you, if we needed to talk?   And you'd tell me, wouldn't you, if I'd pissed you off?   Is there something wrong?   What's taking you so long?   And yeah, I know it's not easy      Well, I look at the stars and I know you're under them   I look at the cars and I know you insure them   I look at the books and things people are reading   I know that you've written them, too   You've got so many little things to do   But then I look at my life and I know you've forgotten   The promise you made to me   I think that's rotten   I'm hopelessly lost and there's hardly a sound anymore   Coming through that can show me around   'Cause I'm endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd   Looking for something from you   Just one fucking measly clue   Any shitty little tip-off would do   But I'm just an ant in Alaska to you      Then I look at the stars and I know you're under them   I look at the cars and I know you insure them   I look at the books and the things people are reading   I know that you've written them, too   You've got so many little things to do   But then I look at my life and I know you've forgotten   The promise you made to me   I think that's rotten   I'm hopelessly lost and there's hardly a sound anymore   Coming through that could show me around   'Cause I'm endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd   Looking for something from you   Just one fucking measly clue   Any shitty little tip-off would do   But I'm just and ant in Alaska to you   I'm just an ant in Alaska   An ant in Alaska   An ant in Alaska to you
