In The Way - Ani DiFranco

no you didn’t just leave

I actually kicked you out

I couldn’t hardly believe

that the words came out my mouth

you couldn’t hardly believe

what you heard yourself discuss

and you packed up all your things

and you said goodbye to us

tell me what is in the way

in the way of my love for you?

tell me what is in the way

in the way of my love for you?

hafta get it outta of the way of my love

hafta get it outta of the way of my love

and now there’s nothing left to lose,

and the screen just says «Fini»

and each night in separate rooms

we cry separately

and every day we yell

down each other’s holes

two slippery strippers

swinging round two poles

tell me what is in the way

in the way of my love for you?

tell me what is in the way

in the way of my love for you?

yeah there’s something in the way of my love for you

yeah there’s something in the way of my love

so we took down all the pictures

and then we took down all the walls

packed up our expectations

piled them in the hall

yeah we bagged our future

kicked it to the curb

and then we stood there unencumbered

and we stood there undeterred

cause we were done clinging

to the things we were afraid to lose

and the only thing left

was a breathtaking view

you looked at me

and I looked at you

and we said, «How about now,

«what you wanna do?»

now there’s something in the way

in the way of my love for you

now there’s something in the way

in the way of my love for you

I have to get it out the way

out the way of my love for you

I have to get it out the way

out the way of my love for you

no you didn’t just leave

no you didn’t just leave

no you didn’t just leave

no you didn’t just leave
