Go On Ahead - Liz Phair

You go on ahead, honey

You have a good time there

You make me feel funny

I’m no ordinary lover or friend

I believe we have things to do

I believe in myself and I believe in you

I believe when I sleep you are near to me When you sleep I am near to you

You walk out of the room with your hands so deep in your pockets, I don’t

Recognize you

You say you’re a ghost in our house and I realize I do think I see

through you

It’s death in our love that has brought us here

It’s a birth that has changed our lives

It’s a place that I hope we’ll be leaving soon

And I fear for the year in his eyes

And it goes around in circle: one night is lovely, the next is brutal

And you and I are in way over our heads with this one, it’s hard

To admit it, but you hold me and I can’t feel you

We hurt but we smile

I promise I’ll make it back when the summer has warmed me awhile
