Lyrics
0:07Books on emerson books on thoreau
0:10But all I read was maps of the road
0:12And I was three thousand miles away from you
0:15All the while I was twenty-two
0:18What do you do to know who you are
0:21The best way for me to drop out on tour
0:24You went to Upstate NxY (New York) to go to school
0:26To secure the roll with your parents
0:30I got a new perspective on you
0:33All the good and bad that we went through
0:35I know you better than you know you
0:38'Cause I got a new perspective on you
0:48I never needed much I never liked to loom
0:51But a gesture can get me from across the room
0:54The first night we talked until while the sun caught up
0:57Transparent people melting all around us
1:00You left in a plane I left in a van
1:03Played nightclub house-parties and auditoriums
1:06Saw Germany England Italy with my band
1:09I know you better than your new friends
1:12I got a new perspective on you
1:15All the good and bad that we went through
1:18I know you better than you know you
1:20'Cause I got a new perspective on you
1:31Ford Econdlane September '93
1:34Driving 10 hours until my eyes are blurry
1:373 packs of Winstons and a bag of seeds
1:40Tapes of "x" and a thermos of coffee
1:436 weeks on and 10 days off
1:46Then I go back on the road for another show
1:49This is all that I've ever done
1:52Girl I got nothing to fall back on
1:55"But I got a new perspective on you All the good and bad that we went through
2:01I know you better than you know you 'Cause I got a new perspective on you"
