Anywhere You're Not

Story Behind The Song

Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy and girl move in together. Girl is more experienced than boy. Girl knows what she wants. Boy is aimless and a little naive. Time passes and girl wonders if aimlessness is compatible with her goals. Boy ignores problems. Girl pretends things are fine while dating other boys. Girl meets less aimless boy she believes is more compatible. Girl notifies first boy that she wants second boy. First boy moves out but encounters them together often. Emotions ensue. The end.

Lyrics

You've been around the block
The knocking never stops
Sound don't drown your fear of years of living on the clock

Summer's on the lamb
Now it's back again
And you're deep in thought -- you know I'm not

A snake is feigning straight
A break impending--wait
Eyes to sky, pages, places ... anywhere you're not
