How hard we tried
And I am getting nowhere with you and I can't let it go
Like the tides of my life and the rest of it all
I am writing graffiti on your body
And eventually the landlord will come and paint over it all
And I'm recording our history now on the bedroom wall
Ahh, both hands
And I am getting nowhere with you
How hard we tried, how hard we tried
In each other's shadows we grew less and less tall
I am watching your chest rise and fall
And I can't get through
I've been waiting for sleep to offer up the deep with both hands
And the closed door on the first floor
And both hands, now use both hands
Oh, no don't close your eyes
She's listening through the air shaft
And I am walking out in the rain
Both hands, now use both hands
I am writing graffiti on your body
I am walking out in the rain

And your bones have been my bed frame
And eventually our theories couldn't explain it all
And your flesh has been my pillow
Oh, no don't close your eyes
I am drawing the story of how hard we tried
And I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
And I can't let it go and I can't get through
Songwriter: Ani Difranco
And I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
The old woman behind the pink curtains
To see how long our swan song can last
I am drawing the story of how hard we tried
