My friend assures me
"It's all or nothing"
I am not worried
I am not overly concerned
My friend implores me
"For one time only
Make an exception"
I am not not worried
Wrap her up in a package of lies
Send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried
I am not overly concerned
With the status of my emotions
"Oh", she says, "you're changing"
But we're always changing
It does not bother me to say this isn't love
'Cause if you don't wanna talk about it, then it isn't love
And I guess I'm going to have to live with that
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey or somethingin between
And I can always change my name, if that's what you mean
My friend assures me
"It's all or nothing"
But I am not really worried
I am not overly concerned
You try to tell yourself the things
You try to tell yourself to make yourself forget
To make yourself forget
I am not worried
"If it's love", she said
"Then were gonna have to think about the consequences"
She can't stop shaking
And I can't stop touching her and
This time, when kindness falls like rain
It washes her away
And Anna begins to change her mind
"These seconds when I'm shaking
Leave me shuddering for days," she says
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing
But I'm not gonna break
And I'm not gonna worry about it anymore
I'm not gonna bend and I'm not gonna break
I'm not gonna worry about it anymore
No, no, no, no, no
It seems like I should say
"As long as this is love"
But it's not all that easy
So maybe I should
Snap her up in a butterfly net
And pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried
'Cause I've done this sort of thing before
But then I start to think about the consequences
I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and then
This time, when kindness falls like rain
It washes me away
And Anna begins to change my mind
And every time she sneezes, I believe it's love
And oooh Lord
I'm not ready for this sort of thing
She's talking in her sleep (rain falls down)
It's keeping me awake
And Anna begins to toss and turn (rain comes falling down)
And every word is nonsense, but I understand (rain falls down)
And oooh Lord (rain comes falling down)
I'm not ready for this sort of thing
Her kindness bangs a gong (rain falls down)
It's moving me along
And Anna begins to fade away (rain comes falling down)
It's chasing me away (rain falls down)
She disappears and oooh Lord
I'm not ready for this sort of thing
