"unworry" by Ani DiFranco

i know i've seen you around
you can't forget that hair
but i didn't hear you coming
how long have you been sitting there?
you know you can tell me anything
i promise i don't scare

let's only ever be allies
even if the whole background dissolves
and little pink hearts can pop over our heads
but we'll keep our cool

y'know i half enjoy my life
it's been exciting
and i've become more peaceful
no more fighting
y'know i ain't gonna waste your time

round and round set it down grooves on an old LP
nibbled by minnows and licked by a salty sea
and i gotta say that i'm amazed
not in a good way
of how much i don't remember
i just gotta hope though i'm slow
it's all part of what i know
and the facts are pretend anyway
yeah the facts are pretend anyway

i know i've seen you around
always in that uniform
where it's just a little stained
sore just a little worn
you know you can tell me anything
i'm not just not hooting my own horn

let's only ever be allies
even if the whole background dissolves
and little pink hearts can pop over our heads
but we'll keep our cool

baby teach me to unworry
i will teach you to unhide
in the city where they don't need x-rays
to see each other's insides
under a big old oak tree
synchronicities gathering tide

round and round set it down grooves on an old LP
nibbled by minnows and licked by a salty sea
and i gotta say i'm amazed
not in a good way
of how much i don't remember
i just gotta hope though i'm slow
it's all part of what i know
and the facts are pretend anyway
yeah the facts are pretend anyway
