Ant In Alaska - Liz Phair

Call me when you think the coast is clear

I’ve been hiding out almost a year

Is there something wrong?

What’s taking you so long?

Yeah, I know it’s not easy

You said if I waited, it’d pay off

But my eyes are growing wild

And my body’s growing soft

Is there something wrong?

What’s taking you so long?

And yeah, I know it’s not easy

You said I should let go of your hand

But I don’t even know if I can

You’re the only one

You are the very sun to me

And you know it’s not easy

Well I look at the stars

And I know you’re under them

I look at the books

And things people are reading

I know that you’ve written them, too

You’ve got so many little things to do

But then I look at my life

And I know you’ve forgotten

The promise you made to me

I think that’s rotten

I’m hopelessly lost

And there’s hardly a sound anymore

Coming through that can show me around

As I’m endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd

Looking for something from you

Just one fucking measly clue

Any shitty little tip-off would do

But I’m just an ant in Alaska to you

But then I look at the stars

And I know you’re under them

I look at the books

And things people are reading

I know that you’ve written them, too

You’ve got so many little things to do

But then I look at my life

And I know you’ve forgotten

The promise you made to me

I think that’s rotten

I’m hopelessly lost

And there’s hardly a sound anymore

Coming through that can show me around

As I’m endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd

Looking for something from you

Just one fucking measly clue

Any shitty little tip-off would do

But I’m just an ant in Alaska to you

I’m just an ant in Alaska

An ant in Alaska

An ant in Alaska to you
