Lyrics
0:12My friend assures me its all or nothing
0:18I am not worried I am not overly concerned
0:23My friend implores me for one time only
0:29Make an exception I am not worried
0:35Wrap her up in a package of lies
0:38Send her off to a coconut island
0:41I am not worried I am not overly concerned
0:46With the status of my emotions
0:48Oh she says we're changing
0:51But we're always changing
0:55It does not bother me to say this isn't love
1:00Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love
1:05And I guess I'm going to have to live that
1:08But I'm sure theres something in a shade of gray
1:11Or something in between
1:14And I can always change my name if that's what you mean
1:20My friend assures me its all or nothing'
1:25But I am not really worried
1:28I am not overly concerned
1:31You try to tell yourself the things you try tell yourself to make
1:35Yourself forget
1:38To make yourself forget
1:40I am not worried
1:42If it's love she said then we're gonna have to think about the
1:47Consequences
1:49She can't stop shaking and I can't stop touching her and
1:53This time when kindness falls like rain
1:57It washes her away and anna begins to change her mind
2:06These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering
2:10For days she says
2:13And I'm not ready for this sort of thing
2:17But I'm not gonna break
2:20And I'm not going to worry about it anymore
2:25I'm not gonna bend and I'm not gonna break and
2:32I'm not gonna worry about it anymore
2:40It seems like I should say as long as this is love
2:46But it's not all that easy so maybe I should just
2:50Snap her up in a butterfly net
2:53Pin her down on a photograph album
2:56I am not worried
2:59I've done this sort of thing before
3:04But then I start to think about the consequences
3:07Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and
3:12The time when kindness falls like rain
3:16It washes me away and anna begins change my mind
3:25And every time she sneezes I believe it's love
3:29And oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing
3:36She's talking in her sleep it's keeping me awake
3:42And anna begins to toss and turn
3:48And every word is nonsense but I understand it and
3:52Oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing
3:59Her kindness bangs a gong
4:01It's moving me along and anna begins to fade away
4:10It's chasing me away she dissappears
4:15And oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing
My friend assures me its all or nothing I am not worried I am not overly concerned My friend implores me for one time only Make an exception I am not worried Wrap her up in a package of lies Send her off to a coconut island I am not worried I am not overly concerned With the status of my emotions Oh she says we're changing But we're always changing It does not bother me to say this isn't love Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love And I guess I'm going to have to live that But I'm sure theres something in a shade of gray Or something in between And I can always change my name if that's what you mean My friend assures me its all or nothing' But I am not really worried I am not overly concerned You try to tell yourself the things you try tell yourself to make Yourself forget To make yourself forget I am not worried If it's love she said then we're gonna have to think about the Consequences She can't stop shaking and I can't stop touching her and This time when kindness falls like rain It washes her away and anna begins to change her mind These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering For days she says And I'm not ready for this sort of thing But I'm not gonna break And I'm not going to worry about it anymore I'm not gonna bend and I'm not gonna break and I'm not gonna worry about it anymore It seems like I should say as long as this is love But it's not all that easy so maybe I should just Snap her up in a butterfly net Pin her down on a photograph album I am not worried I've done this sort of thing before But then I start to think about the consequences Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and The time when kindness falls like rain It washes me away and anna begins change my mind And every time she sneezes I believe it's love And oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing She's talking in her sleep it's keeping me awake And anna begins to toss and turn And every word is nonsense but I understand it and Oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing Her kindness bangs a gong It's moving me along and anna begins to fade away It's chasing me away she dissappears And oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing
