thanks for the comments on my last journal entry. i decided it didn't need to be there anymore.

one more night by ani difranco

i come to your town
like thirsty lips to a cup,
i come to your town
and i wanna call you up.
i don't know how i feel--
but i hope you feel the same.
i've broken every speed limit in your name

sometimes i just wanna bury my head in a hole.
tell me, do you have the kind of touch that can console?
i wanna hold my hands over my eyes during the scary scenes.
will you stay with me at night and stand guard over my dreams?
will you stand guard over my dreams?

you feel like you're out on a long limb,
like you've risked it all--
but i'll go out there with you,
and when the bough breaks
the cradle will just fall.
i'd rather go down knowing what it was like
than to keep myself company
one more night.

and i've got something new--
something i didn't have before.
you were a big dark room,
a room without a door.
if you will shelter me,
i will fill your vacancy.
we don't even need the walls, the ceiling, or the floor.
and i've got something for you too,
something you probably don't need.
you can buy it for the pictures, baby,
find out it's a real good read.
i just hope you still want it
cause i'm bringing it to you.

i'm gonna come to your town
i'm gonna call you up --
then i don't know what i'm gonna do.
you feel like you're out on a long limb,
like you've risked it all,
and if the bough breaks
the cradle will just fall.
i'd rather go down knowing what it was like
than to keep myself company
one more night.

sometimes i just wanna bury my head in a hole.
tell me, do you have the kind of touch that can console?
i wanna hold my hands over my eyes during the scary scenes.
tell me, will you stay with me at night and stand guard over my dreams?
will you stand guard over my dreams?
