Perhaps

Perhaps I have not drawn the line clearly enough

So let me trace my borders again

Meaning at the end of the evening this is where I

stand

Waving to you from the other side of the glass

Perhaps I have not given you fair warning

I'm just an instrument of song

You play one string the other's hum along

Meaning at the end of the evening

I'm just an awkward girl from a small town

Weary of saling our cargo around



And I'm sorry if I lead you to believe

That I had come all this way to live

forever in your city

And I'm sorry it's such a thin thin line

Between flattery and panic in my life



Perhaps I have been flirting with a vision of

these parallel lives

Every choice I come to seems miles wide

Meaning at the end of the evening I must

abandon my part

For this long drive home through the winter dark



And I'm sorry if I lead you to believe

That I had come all this way to live

forever in your city

And I'm sorry if I lead you to believe that I

had more to say to you than it may seem

And I'm sorry it's such a thin thin line

Between flattery and panic in my life
