The Cardigans › Lyrics › Communication

For twenty-seven years I’ve been trying to believe and confide in
Different people I’ve found
Some of them got closer than others
Some wouldn’t even bother and then you came around

I didn’t really know what to call you, you didn’t know me at all
But I was happy to explain
I never really knew how to move you
So I tried to intrude through the little holes in your veins and I saw you

But that’s not an invitation, that’s all I get
If this is communication I disconnect
I’ve seen you, I know you but I don’t know how to connect so I disconnect

You always seem to know where to find me and I’m still here behind you
In the corner of your eye
I’ll never really learn how to love you
But I know that I love you through the hole in the sky where I see you

And that’s not an invitation, that’s all I get
If this is communication I disconnect
I’ve seen you, I know you but I don’t know how to connect, so I disconnect

Well this is an invitation, it’s not a threat
If you want communication that’s what you get
I’m talking and talking but I don’t know how to connect
And I hold a record for being patient with your kind of hesitation
I need you, you want me but I don’t know how to connect so I disconnect
I disconnect
