ANI DIFRANCO lyrics : "Overlap"

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


come here
stand in front of the light
stand still

so I can see your sillouette
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 sillouette
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 backround, 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 sillouette
I hope

you have got all night
'cause I'm not done looking
no, I'm not done looking yet


I seach 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
