How Have You Been Lyrics - Out Of Range - Ani Difranco

You could always hear the rub squeaking 

Of those two tree limbs 

'Til one day one of them came down 

Taken down by the wind 

But on the one that's still there 

You can still see where the bark was 

Rubbed bare 

It's a metaphor if you know what I mean 

How have you been? 

Me and you 

And your girlfriend makes three 

In the interest of even numbers 

I will make myself scarce 

I will make myself scarcely me 

But I'll be outside your window at night 

Pull up your shades 

Leave on your light 

I don't want to come in between 

I just want to know 

How have you been 

I leave for a living 

Music's just something I do 

On my way out the door 

And I'd do almost anything once 

Something about you 

I think I'd do you more 

If I had my way I'd stay here 

And watch your hair grow for a while 

It makes me smile just to dream of it 

How have you been
