you keep telling me i'm beautiful but i feel a little less so each time your love is so colorful it flashes like a neon sign but i finally drove out where the sky is dark enuf to see stars and i found i missed no one just listening to the swishing of distant cars i hope i never see the ocean again pushing and pulling at me as i go deeper and deeper in til i'm so far from my shore so far from what i came here for i let you surround me i let you drown me out with your din and then i learned how to swim i was floating above myself watching her do just what you wanted poor little friendly ghost wondering why her whole house feels haunted i told myself i was strong enuf that i had plenty of blood to give and each elbow cradled a needle but listless and faint ain't no way to live so i hope i never see the ocean again pushing and pulling at me as i go deeper and deeper in til i'm so far from my shore so far from what i came here for i let you surround me i let you drown me out with your din and then i learned how to swim you keep telling me i'm beautiful but i feel a little less so each time your love is so colorful it flashes like a neon sign but i finally drove out where the sky is dark enuf to see stars and i found i missed no one just listening to the swishing of distant cars words and music by ani difranco © 2004 righteous babe music / BMI
