I Know It's Not Easy Lyrics - Girlysound Tape 2 - Liz Phair

Call me when you think the coast is clear 

I've been hiding out almost a year 

Is there something wrong? 

What's taking you so long? 

And yeah, I know it's not easy 

You said if I waited it'd pay off 

But my eyes are growing wild and my body's gone soft 

Is there something wrong? 

What's taking you so long? 

And yeah, I know it's not easy 

You said I should let go of your hand 

But I don't even know if I can 

You're the only one 

You are the very sun to me 

And you know it's not easy 

You'd tell me, wouldn't you, if we needed to talk? 

And you'd tell me, wouldn't you, if I'd pissed you off? 

Is there something wrong? 

What's taking you so long? 

And yeah, I know it's not easy 

Well, I look at the stars and I know you're under them 

I look at the cars and I know you insure them 

I look at the books and things people are reading 

I know that you've written them, too 

You've got so many little things to do 

But then I look at my life and I know you've forgotten 

The promise you made to me 

I think that's rotten 

I'm hopelessly lost and there's hardly a sound anymore 

Coming through that can show me around 

'Cause I'm endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd 

Looking for something from you 

Just one fucking measly clue 

Any shitty little tip-off would do 

But I'm just an ant in Alaska to you 

Then I look at the stars and I know you're under them 

I look at the cars and I know you insure them 

I look at the books and the things people are reading 

I know that you've written them, too 

You've got so many little things to do 

But then I look at my life and I know you've forgotten 

The promise you made to me 

I think that's rotten 

I'm hopelessly lost and there's hardly a sound anymore 

Coming through that could show me around 

'Cause I'm endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd 

Looking for something from you 

Just one fucking measly clue 

Any shitty little tip-off would do 

But I'm just and ant in Alaska to you 

I'm just an ant in Alaska 

An ant in Alaska 

An ant in Alaska to you
