hour follows hourhour follows hour like water follows water everything is governed by the rule of one thing leads to another you can't really place blame cuz blame is much too messy some was bound to get on you while you were trying to put it on me don't fool yourself into thinking things are simple nobody's lying and still the stories don't line up why do you try to hold on to what you'll never get a hold on you wouldn't try to put the ocean in a paper cup [i have had something to prove as long as i've had something that needs improving and you know that every time i move i make a woman's movement first you decide what you've gotta do then you go out and do it and maybe the most that we can do is just to see each other thru it] hour follows hour like water in a river and from one to the next we don't know what each hour will deliver we just call it like we see it we call it out loud as we can and then afterwards we call it all water over the dam and maybe the moral high ground isn't as high as it seems maybe we are both good people who've done some bad things i just hope it was o.k., i know it wasn't perfect i hope in the end we can laugh and say it was all worth it [i have had something to prove as long as i've had something that needs improving and you know that every time i move i make a woman's movement first you decide what you've gotta do then you go out and do it and maybe the most that we can do is just to see each other thru it] we make our own gravity to give weight to things and then things fall and they break and gravity sings we can only hold so much is what i figure we try and keep our eye on the big picture and the picture keeps getting bigger too much is how i love you but too well is how i know you i've got nothing to prove this time just something to show you i guess i just wanted you to see that it was all worth it to me © 1995 ani difranco / righteous babe music |
