Hello There

from It Was Easy by Title Tracks

lyrics

If I am bringing you down
I didn’t know that it was you
That I was cutting into
With all my futile ministrations
And my static indications
How did you keep on doing what you said you’d do?

If I am bringing you down
I didn’t know if it was true
That I was relevant to you
I couldn’t draw a map
My phone was tapped
And then they wouldn’t let me do the things
I promised I would do for you

If I am bringing you down
I didn’t think it could be true
That you were hurting too
That after all that time
I couldn’t sign my name across the papers
That we drew up for me and for you

Please don’t think this side is really me
It’s only a prop for my protection
I don’t blame you for breaking free
I think that I ought to move in your direction

Hello, there
We were all dreams
For most of the 1970s

Hello, there
It’s just obscene
What my explanations really mean

I don’t know what to do
Without all of you
If you go someplace new
Oh, could you take me, too?

If I am bringing you down
It’s not ‘cause I didn’t try to let the anger die
But you can’t close your eyes when you’re inside this cornerless room
Unless you’re happy to sing the same tune

If I am bringing you down
You ought to know that this town will make a quiet sound
That you can hear from years away
Now wasn’t it yesterday that we took a few notes of our own?
