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 longAnd 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 youAnd 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 emptinessAnd you talk it out and you talk it down
But your eyes are not listening
And my ears are runnin' around
Lookin' for another song to sing
But it is you each time
It is you, it is you, it is youSo 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 punishmentNow it lives in a shack outside of town
And only the wolves are out there listenin'
And in her dreams they chase her down
Their moonlit eyes are glistening
And it is you each time
It is you, it is you, it is you
It is you, it is you, it is you
