Communication - The Cardigans

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, its 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
