You Each Time

there you were day after day
 six feet
 twenty feet
 two feet away
 right in my pocket singin me a song
 makin my heart race all day long
 and we talked it out and we talked it down
 but your eyes were not listening
 and my ears were looking around
 for another song to sing
 but it was you each time
 it was you
 the answer to each moment must be yes
 and the question: can you live with that?
 becomes the test
 so you weigh it against that aching in your chest
 and that secretly relentless emptiness
 and you talk it out and you talk it down
 but your eyes are not listening
 and my ears are running around
 looking for another song to sing
 but it is you each time
 it is you
 so my heart finally broke
 it was so long bent
 and it broke in three places
 when it finally went
 it wanted only to say what it meant
 so it suffered every punishment
 now it lives in a shack outside of town
 and only the wolves are out there listening
 and in her dreams they chase her down
 their moonlit eyes are glistening
 and it is you each time
 it is you
