Communication, lyric by Cardigans, The

from the songs album Long Gone Before Daylight

For twenty seven years I've been trying
To believe and confide in
Different people I found...

Some of them got closer than others,
And 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 I'd 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 never really learnt 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.
I need you, you want me,
But I don't know how to connect,
So I disconnect,

I disconnect...
