You, Yourself and I

You sensor yourself whenever we’re talking

There’s always a couple of things that you simply don’t say

And I fill in the blanks whenever I need to

‘Cause I believe in the long run it’s better that way

Then I can be sure and just hear what I wanna hear

And these days that ok with me

And you can be careful to keep what you wanna keep

Safe under shackle and key

And say nothing eloquently

You measure yourself by what you’re still holding

When logic should tell you there’s freedom in letting it go

And I’m willing to lose and I’m ready to gamble

I’d rather have nothing to carry than something to show

You sensor yourself whenever we’re talking

There’s always a couple of things that you don’t wanna show

And I play my guitar and stare at the book shelf

I reckon if anything changes that you’ll let me know

Then I can be sure and just hear what I wanna hear

And these days that ok with me

And you can be careful to keep what you wanna keep

Safe under shackle and key

And that’s alright with me
