Rush Hour Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Rush Hour Lyrics

    ush hour
    and the day's dawning
    the rain came
    and pushed me under the awning
    the puddles grew and threw themselves at me
    with every passing car
    I'm shielding my guitar
    and there were some things that I
    did not tell him
    there were certain things
    he did not need to know
    and there were some days
    when I did not love him
    he didn't understand me
    and I don't know why
    I didn't go
    he said change the channel
    I've got problems of my own
    I'm so sick of hearing about drugs
    and aids
    and people without homes
    and I said, well,
    I'd like to sympathize with that
    but if you don't understand
    then how can you act
    I expected summer to be there in the morning
    I woke to the alarm
    but she was out of arms reach
    sneaking out
    on silent thighs
    that were spent and sore
    from the hot nights that came before
    he said I looked for you
    I don't know why
    I said I was wearing black so you could
    see me against the sky
    take your big leather boots
    and your buckles and your chains
    put them on a downtown train
    I expected he would be there in the morning
    I awoke to the alarm
    he was still in arm's reach
    but his body was just a disguise
    his mind had wandered off long ago
    you see in his eyes
    love isn't over when the sheets are stained
    in my head there remains
    so much left to be said
    make me laugh, make me cry, enrage me
    but just don't try to disengage me
