Ani Difranco Half-Assed lyrics

You start tripping
And I start slipping away
I was taught to zip it
If I got nothing nice to say

And down in the Texas of my heart
Driving a really big truck
Headed down a dirt road
My love is scrunching up its features
The really big eyes, big lips, big nose

Just show me a moment that is mine
Its beauty blinding and unsurpassed
Make me forget every moment that went by
And left me so half-hearted
'Cuz I felt it so half-assed

You are an unruly, translucent
A dirty windshield with a shifting view
So many cunning running landscapes
For my dented door to open into

I just wanna tune out all the billboards
Weld myself a mental shield
I just wanna put down all the pressures
And feel how I really feel


Just show me a moment that is mine
Its beauty blinding and unsurpassed
Make me forget every moment that went by
And left me so half-hearted
'Cuz I felt it so half-assed

Spring is super in the supermarkets
And the strawberries prance and glow
Never mind that they're all kinda tart
And tasteless as strawberries go

Meanwhile, wild things are not for sale
Anymore than they are for show
So I'll be outside
In love with the kind of beauty
It takes more than eyes to know

Just show me a moment that is mine
Its beauty blinding and unsurpassed
And I'll forget every moment that went by
And left me so half-hearted
'Cuz I felt it so half-assed
