Anticipate Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Anticipate Lyrics

    you are subtle as a window pane
    standing in my view
    but I will wait for it to rain
    so that I can see you
    you call me up at night
    when there's no light passing through
    and you think that I don't understand
    but I do

    we don't say everything that we could
    so that we can say later
    oh, you misunderstood
    I hold my cards up
    close to my chest
    I say what I have to
    and I hold back the rest

    'cause someone you don't know
    is someone you don't know
    get a firm grip, girl
    before you let go
    for every hand extended
    another lies in wait
    keep your eye on that one
    anticipate

    dress down get out there
    pick a fight with the police
    we will get it all on film
    for the new release
    seems like everyone's an actor
    or they're an actor's best friend
    I wonder what was wrong to begin with
    that they should all have to pretend
    we lost sight of everything
    when we have to keep checking our backs
    I think we should all just smile
    come clean
    and relax

    if there's anything I've learned
    all these years on my own
    it's how to find my own way there
    and how to find my own way back home
