Circe Of Light Lyrics - Ani Difranco

Standing just outside 

The circle of light 

Avoiding the pool cues 

Watching the game 

Waiting for you 

Hanging in the doorway 

Like smoke 

Like mistletoe 

This is where I'll be 

Whenever you come or go 

I'm gonna roll you over 

Gonna peel you back 

Expose your tender center 

Watch the juices flow from the crack 

Gonna peel you out of your protective shell 

Or I might have to break right in there and raise some hell 

I don't have no grand plan for you and me 

Just nothing is impossible 

Nothing is unlikely 

I'm just riding the tide 

Nothing more 

And it's bound to take me out some 

Before it brings me back to shore 

When you look in the mirror 

Do you see visions of your past 

I ain't got time for halfway 

I ain't got time for halfassed 

When I look in the mirror 

I see my days to come 

And my face is just a trace 

Of where I'm coming from 

Just outside the circle of light 

Is where you've been living 

Your whole life 

You've got to jump into the center 

And launch your attack 

And then you've got to crawl back 

In the corners
