Communication (the Cardigans)

For 27 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

Oh, I need you, you want me

But I don't know

How to connect, so I disconnect

I disconnect
