Collecting You Lyrics - Become You - Indigo Girls

I could paint you in the dark 

Cause I've studied you with hunger as a work of art 

And these are very secret days 

I collect my information 

Then I stow it all away 

Call me 

When you breeze through to your appointments 

The work you do 

Call me 

I'm collecting you

The pleading (unknown) sting 

My hairtrigger love and faulty spring 

The (unknown) name 

I don't like that smile applied to me 

So blindly just the same 

Call me 

When you breeze through 

To your appointments 

The work you do 

Call me 

I'm collecting you 

Turning up my collar (turning up my collar) 

To an unseasonal chill 

You ask for a favor 

You know I will 

And the rain comes as surprise 

We fly across the railroad ties 

I feel the danger 

The foolish thrill 

Oh yes I will 

Photos 

What it will or won't be then 

(unknown) sure the predevelopment of the of the inkful in the pen 

Mind the minds eye's trickery 

Cause you might picture killer beautiful 

Much more than it might be 

Call me 

Tell me 

What you're up to 

What you do 

Call me 

I'm collecting you 

I would be foolish 

To think that I could turn it off 

And stay alive the way I live 

When you switch on 

Hand on the dimmer (my hands you) 

Give me just a glimmer (in the glimmer) 

Give me just a shadow (just a shadow) 

Of hope around the edges 

Agony and rapture 

Forever uncaptured 

Take these secrets to your grave 

Drug across your landscape 

And buried in your cave (your piling up) 

Your piling up and out of sight (out of sight) 

Every try to add it up feels like counting shades of light 

Call me yeah 

Tell me 

What you're up to 

What you do 

Call me 

I'm collecting you 

Hang it in my window 

Let it complicate my view 

The separation 

The glass of you 

But I can't paint this picture 

Any way that I see fit 

The art of pain 

The subject sits unmoved
