You Each Time Lyrics - Educated Guess - Ani Difranco

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 long 

And 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 you 

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 emptiness 

And you talk it out and you talk it down 

But your eyes are not listening 

And my ears are running around 

Looking for another song to sing 

But it is you each time 

It is you 

So 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 punishment 

Now it lives in a shack outside of town 

And only the wolves are out there listening 

And in her dreams they chase her down 

Their moonlit eyes are glistening 

And it is you each time 

It is you
