Ani difranco wants me and her want, it keeps her very busy she doesn't even have time to write me letters and the ones i sent come back to me but she backed me up on my last album and not for credit but for my love she's in the background singing, i swear it if you can't hear her, then turn it up i met her backstage at a concert i said "you're such a righteous babe to me" it was such a forrest gump moment but i never got any royalties and she's got such a sense of humor once she even called the police something about a boy outside her window then she smiled when she saw that it was me she said, "we're on our own can you picture it? you and me baby and we're driving down the highway" we can't be wrong if you think of it we illustrate the soundtrack and we're driving down the highway you know she's got me on her speed dial she calls when she's hung up on a chord and it's another industry inside secret that i write most her words Letras de cancionesand we always go for coffee up to denny's or to a small cafe we have the greatest conversations most of our songs get written that way ok, so i never really met her but there was one time that i almost did she stayed on her side of the courtroom and said "can't you lock up this fucking kid?" so they granted the restraining order but i think in this case the system's wrong o ani can't you see i love you? i just wanted you to hear my new song it goes: we're on our own can you picture it? you and me baby and we're driving down the highway we can't be wrong if you think of it we illustrate the soundtrack and we're driving down the highway and i never asked to be different she'll never know the way i feel unless i hit the highway so i drove all night through a misty rain and suddenly i catch a glimpse of ani as she takes the stage her first song is a prince cover that i just love and then she breaks it down into untouchable face she breaks a string before the third song and the crowd just waits but when she starts the show again this is just what she'll say: we're on our own can you picture it you and me jay and we're just driving down the highway we might be wrong but just think of it we'll rewrite the whole soundtrack as we get another state away From Letras Mania
