Fear and Time - Melissa Ferrick, Ferrick, Melissa

Well you don’t know

What it is you’re doing

And you don’t know

What it is you’re losing (?)

So you just lay around

With ½ your heart on the ground

Cuz you don’t know

The meaning of the words you’re using

Yeah that’s it

Wrap yourself up in yourself

Yeah that’s it

Dive yourself into yourself

And what are you going to find?

Besides fear and time

And he’s been trying

Yeah to give you room

And he’s been trying

To listen to you

But all he hears from you is cruel

And for 7 years

He gave it all up for you

7 years and now you don’t

Know what YOU want anymore

Yeah that’s it

Wrap yourself up in yourself

Yeah that’s it darlin dive yourself into yourself

And what are you going to find?

Yeah besides fear and time

So you’re going to softly leave

As he quietly entered

And use punch words

Onto your breath like forever

And he is gone

His heart’s a burned up clover

And he is disabled

Just like the boat that brought him over

So yeah that’s it

Just pretend that he doesn’t exist

And what are you going to find?

Fear and time
