about

my roommate from this time has a fondness for this song, because she watched me wake up from a dream, tell her about it, and then write this song before the day was done. all i remember from the dream is the way ani difranco looked into my eyes as she touched my cheek and told me i had a complicated face. it was a remarkable experience. as for the rest of it, well, it's hard to say sometimes what our words mean. they're for you.

lyrics

i'm standing still
i'm listening
i'm growing old
i laugh out loud
it echoes back
the tale i've told
i'm waiting here
for something good
for something real
i scuff my feet
while just outside
is how i feel

these are my dreams
may the worst be over
she came to me
and i chose to show her
what she could see
i could not erase
not a complicated soul
just a complicated face

won't come too close
won't go too far
won't ask too much
i'll sort it out
i'll find a mess
i'll make it such
i'll grow my hair
i'll change my shoes
i'll change my mind
i'll find some truth
i'll rearrange
i'll take my time

these are my dreams
may the worst be over
she came to me
and i chose to show her
what she could see
i cannot erase
not a complicated soul
just a complicated face

i'll touch your heart
i'll touch your hand
i'll touch the sky
just look up
and there i'll be
just floating by
