lyrics

The Hunter and the Deer

I tell myself it’s over. You’re not good for me. I know.
But I forget again and again and now I’m driving through the snow.
Can see these barren trees by day, but at night they disappear.
I thought that I would lead the way and draw you out of here.
And yet I feel like I’m the prey: you’re the forest, I’m the deer.

This affair is so uncivilized and I want to be unbound.
I tell myself it’s time to leave just as you come back around.
Your good time is for lunatics. It’s bedlam when you’re near.
But this power you have over me as you whisper in my ear —
It can stop me in my tracks to see: you’re the headlights, I’m the deer.

I thought I had you all wrapped up around my little finger.
I thought that I would count you in — you’re the band, and I’m the singer.
But my friends all say that it’s so clear you’ve played this game before.
And I’d be a fool to let you in when you’re prowling ’round my door.

There’s a pleasure in this weariness that wraps around each morning.
But my better angels tell me that they’ve given me fair warning.
I’m caught up in your little traps but I never shed a tear.
I know these feet can run so fast and these hands know how to steer.
But I’m no match for what you’ve got: you’re the hunter, I’m the deer.
