Through And Through

(album: River Runs Red - 1993)

You got that look in your eye again
It's working overtime
Worried about where I'm gonna spend my life
But it's much too late, I said it's much too late
I said it's much too late to start picking fights
You said: where ya been, where ya going
Where ya going to, where ya going to, where are ya going?

'Cause I'll be right here, yeah
Can it wait, can't you wait, can't you wait
Just a minute now, just a minute now, come on
I need some air to breathe
I need some space, just leave

'Cause I'm colder than ever colder than ever
I said I'm colder than ever
I'm empty
Empty through and through

Someday they'll see, someday I'll be
Unwanting of somewhere to hide
But for now I'll take shelter
Deep in the back of my mind
Can it wait? Can't you wait?
Can't you wait?
'Cause I ain't ready to lay it on the line
I still shake, I still shake
I still shake
And from this chill in my spine
I've got this chill oh yeah
In the back of my spine
Baby all the time now
Chilling my bones, chilling all alone now
Find a way, find a way, I've found a way
To cope with the everyday now
Raise your hands if you understand

'Cause I'm colder than ever colder than ever
I said I'm colder than ever
I'm empty
Empty through and through

Smiling's just a phrase yeah
And nothing can phrase me
Smiling's just a phrase yeah
And nothing can phrase me
Come on
