You Each Time

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
