Anna Begins

Counting Crows

Across A Wire - Live In New York : Disc One - VH1 Storytellers

- We're playing some of these electric songs because they change so much, and because I think we really know how to play them now, so this is... this is "Anna Begins".

My friend assures me
She says "it's all or nothing"
But I'm not worried
I am not overly concerned

My friend implores me
"Just one time only
Come on, make an exception"
And I am not worried

Wrap her up in a package of lies
You send her off to a coconut island
And I am not worried
And I am not overly concerned

With the status of my emotions
"Oh", she says, "hey, 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 gonna have to just live with that
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of gray or something in between
I can always just change my name, if that's what you mean

But my friend assures me
She says "look, it's all or nothing"
But I am not really worried
And I am not overly concerned

You try to tell yourself the things
You try to tell yourself
Just to make yourself forget
I am not worried

"'Cause if it's love", she said
"Then we're gonna have to think about the consequences"
'Cause she can't stop shaking
I, 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
"And these seconds when I'm shaking
Leave me shuddering for days", she says
I'm not ready for this sort of thing

But I'm not gonna break
I'm not gonna worry about it anymore
See, I'm not gonna bend and I'm, I'm not gonna break
And I'm, I'm not gonna worry about it anymore

'Cause I know, I know
It seems like I should say
"Oh well, as long as this is love"
It's not all that easy

And so, maybe I should just snap her up in a butterfly net
Or pin her down on a photograph album
Well, I am not worried
I just do the same things over and over and over again

But then, I start to think about the consequences
'Cause I don't get no sleep, man, I never sleep

And this time, when kindness falls like rain
Washes me away
And Anna begins to change my mind
And every time she, she sneezes, I think it's love
And oooh, Lord
I'm not ready for this sort of thing

She's talking in her sleep (fall down)
It's keeping me awake
And Anna begins to toss and turn and toss and (rain comes falling down)
When every word is just 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 pouring down)
It's chasing me away (rain falls down)
She disappears and oooh, Lord
I'm not ready for this sort of thing
