Call me when you think the coast is clear
I ve been hiding out almost a year
Is there something wrong?
What s taking you so long?
And yeah, I know it s not easy
You said if I waited it d pay off
But my eyes are growing wild and my body s gone soft
Is there something wrong?
What s taking you so long?
And yeah, I know it s not easy
You said I should let go of your hand
But I don t even know if I can
You re the only one
You are the very sun to me
And you know it s not easy
Well, I look at the stars and I know you re under them
I look at the cars and I know you insure them
I look at the books and things people are reading
I know that you ve written them, too
You ve got so many little things to do
But then I look at my life and I know you ve forgotten
The promise you made to me I think that s rotten
I m hopelessly lost and there s hardly a sound anymore
Coming through that can show me around
Cause I m endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd
Looking for something from you
Just one ing measly clue
Any shitty little tip-off would do
But I m just an ant in Alaska to you
Then I look at the stars and I know you re under them
I look at the cars and I know you insure them
I look at the books and the things people are reading
I know that you ve written them, too
You ve got so many little things to do
But then I look at my life and I know you ve forgotten
The promise you made to me I think that s rotten
I m hopelessly lost and there s hardly a sound anymore
Coming through that could show me around
Cause I m endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd
Looking for something from you
Just one ing measly clue
Any shitty little tip-off would do
But I m just and ant in Alaska to you
I m just an ant in Alaska
An ant in Alaska
An ant in Alaska to you
