fing Ani Difranco - why does it always come down to me and you?

Make Me Stay

I'm going to turn and walk away
you wait till I am far along
then run and come and catch my arm
and say you'd die if I was gone
I want to hear you call my name
it's too easy just to say it soft
I don't like my language watered down
I don't like my edges rounded off

I can't always wait for your circumstances to improve
love is loose - it shifts each time you move
go ahead, put my back against the wall
give it all up or don't give it to me at all
you never know this could be our last night
so go ahead and step back into the light
so I can see your sillouette
I'm not done looking yet

save the profile for the camera
give me your eye to eye
I know all your secrets and you know all of mine
mostly I don't go for the soft focus and the fantasy
I need something real
I can thin think and say and see so

I'm going to turn and walk away
you wait till I am far along
then run and come and catch my arm
and say you'd die if I were gone
yes, I'm going to turn and walk away
you can watch me go
or you can make me stay
