Ani Difranco - Phase Lyrics






I'll be your biggest fan, I will be your fool
I'll be your exception to every rule

and I ain't the type to bitch
I ain't the type to cry
I'll sit at your red light
and wait for your ship to go by

and this vague little smile is my all-purpose expression
the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion

yeah my distraction is my defense against this lack of inspiration
against this slowly deflation
yeah the further the horizon you know the more it warps my gaze
the foreground's out of focus but you know I kinda hope it's
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase

I've been through and through this, I know just how it goes
you'll have no idea, you'll have no need to know
I will make your body grow wings and take flight
I will erase sound, I will erase light

I said this vague little smile is my all-purpose expression
the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion

yes my distraction is my defense against this lack of inspiration
against this slowly deflation
yeah the further the horizon the more it warps my gaze
and the foreground's out of focus but you know I kinda hope it's
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase

    I'll be your biggest fan
    I will be your fool
    I'll be your exception
    To whatever the rule
    And I ain't the type to bitch
    I ain't the type to cry
    I'll sit at your red light and wait
    For your shit to go by
    And this vague little smile
    Is my all-purpose expression
    The meaning of which
    I will leave to your discretion
    My distraction's my defense
    Against a lack of inspiration
    Against a slow leak deflation
    The further the horizon
    The more it holds my gaze
    And the foreground's out of focus
    But you know I kinda hope it's
    Just a phase
    I've been through and through this
    I know just how it goes
    You'll have no idea
    You'll have no need to know
    Cause I will make your body
    Grow wings and take flight
    I will erase sound
    I will erase light
    And this vague little smile
    Is my all-purpose expression
    The meaning of which
    I'll leave to your discretion
    My distraction's my defense
    Against a lack of inspiration
    Against a slow leak deflation
    The further the horizon
    The more it holds my gaze
    And the foreground's out of focus
    But you know I kinda hope it's
    Just a phase
