lyrics
Sister can you hold this grudge for me?
Take it right out of my hands,
It’s been too long, I’m not that strong,
And I think I’m sinking into the sand.
Baby can you clean my mind for me,
Or give me your little pill,
If you’re not up above then you’re making love,
Or you’re fighting, or you’re sitting still.
You’re sitting still,
You’re sitting, so very still.
Radio’s blasting all the time,
Everything I do and say,
Make a connection in a different direction,
When you need something clever to say,
I gave up trying to do things for you,
Such a long time ago,
I stared at the sun since age begun,
And there’s only one thing I know.
You don’t know, just what I’m saying.
I don’t know just what, I’m saying.
I’m so surprised, I realize,
I’m so surprised, open my eyes,
Open my eyes, and I close my eyes.
I just want to love you,
You tell me you need some space,
When I come to your door and I’m begging for more,
I can see the little sign in your face,
What are you trying to tell me baby?
Well I’m hoping that it’s something good,
I hear your voice, I just make the choice,
And it comes out the way it should.
You don’t know just what you’re doing.
I don’t know just what you’re doing.
I’m so surprised, open my eyes,
I’m so surprised, I realize that I
Should realize.
