Anna Begins by The Counting Crows

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 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, "we're changing"
but we're always changing
it does not bother me to say
this isn't love
because if you don't want to 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 gray
or something in between
and i can always change my name if that's what you mean
my friend assumes 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
i am not worried
"if it's love, " she said,
"then we're 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 " she says
and i'm not ready for this sort of thing
but i'm not gonna break
i'm not gonna bend
and i'm not gonna break and
i'm not gonna worry about it anymore
it seems like i should say
"as long as this is love..."
but it's not all that easy so maybe i should just
snap her up in a butterfly net
pin her down on a photograph album
i am not worried
i've done this sort of thing before
but then i start to think about the consequences
because i don't get no sleep in a quiet room...
the 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 oh lord.. i'm not ready for this sort of thing
she's talking in her sleep
it's keeping me awake
and anna begins to toss and turn
and every word is nonsense but i understand and
oh lord.. i'm not ready for this sort of thing
her kindness bangs a gong
it's moving me along
and anna begins to fade away
it's chasing me away
she dissapears, and oh lord
i'm not ready for this sort of thing
