Overlap Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Overlap Lyrics

    I search your profile
    for a translation
    I study the conversation
    like a map
    'cause I know there is strength
    in the differences between us
    and I know there is comfort
    where we overlap

    come here
    stand in front of the light
    stand still
    so I can see your sillouette
    I hope
    you have got all night
    'cause I'm not done looking,
    no, I'm not done looking yet

    each one of us
    wants a piece of the action
    you can hear it in what we say
    you can see it in what we do
    we negotiate with chaos
    for some sense of satisfaction
    if you won't give it to me
    at least give me a better view

    come here
    stand in front of the light
    stand still
    so I can see your sillouette
    I hope
    you have got all night
    'cause I'm not done looking
    no,
    I'm not done looking yet

    I build each one of my songs
    out of glass
    so you can see me inside of them
    I suppose
    or you could just leave the image of me
    in the backround, I guess
    and watch your own reflection superimposed

    I build each one of my days out of hope
    and I give that hope your name
    and I don't know you that well
    but it don't take much to tell
    either you don't have the balls
    or you don't feel the same

    come here
    stand in front of the light
    stand still
    so I can see your sillouette
    I hope
    you have got all night
    'cause I'm not done looking
    no, I'm not done looking yet

    I seach your profile for a translation
    I study the conversation like a map
    'cause I know there is strength
    in the differences between us
    and I know there is comfort
    where we overlap
