Overlap

Ani Difranco

search your profile

for a translation

i study the conversation

like a map

'cause i know there is strength

in the differences between us

and i know there is comfort

where we overlap



come here

stand in front of the light

stand still

so i can see your silhouette

i hope

you have got all night

'cause i'm not done looking,

no, i'm not done looking yet



each one of us

wants a piece of the action

you can hear it in what we say

you can see it in what we do

we negotiate with chaos

for some sense of satisfaction

if you won't give it to me

at least give me a better view



come here

stand in front of the light

stand still

so i can see your silhouette

i hope

you have got all night

'cause i'm not done looking

no,

i'm not done looking yet



i build each one of my songs

out of glass

so you can see me inside of them

i suppose

or you could just leave the image of me

in the background, i guess

and watch your own reflection superimposed



i build each one of my days out of hope

and i give that hope your name

and i don't know you that well

but it don't take much to tell

either you don't have the balls

or you don't feel the same



come here

stand in front of the light

stand still

so i can see your silhouette

i hope

you have got all night

'cause i'm not done looking

no, i'm not done looking yet



i search your profile for a translation

i study the conversation like a map

'cause i know there is strength

in the differences between us

and i know there is comfort

where we overlap
