ant in alaska
Singer:phair, liz
call me when you think the coast is clear
i've been hiding out almost a year
is there something wrong?
what's taking you so long?
but my eyes are growing wild
and my body's growing soft
is there something wrong?
what's taking you so long?
you said i should let go of your hand
but i don't even know if i can
you are the very sun to me
and you know it's not easy
and i know you're under them
and things people are reading
i know that you've written them
you've got so many little things to do
but then i look at my life
and i know you've forgotten
the promise you made to me
and there's hardly a sound anymore
coming through that can show me around
endlessly searching the crowd
looking for something from you
just one fucking measly clue
any shitty little tip-off would do
but i'm just an ant in alaska to you
but then i look at the stars
and i know you're under them
and things people are reading
i know that you've written them
you've got so many little things to do
but then i look at my life
and i know you've forgotten
the promise you made to me
and there's hardly a sound anymore
coming through that can show me around
endlessly searching the crowd
looking for something from you
just one fucking measly clue
any shitty little tip-off would do
but i'm just an ant in alaska to you
i'm just an ant in alaska
