No Outlet - Juliana Hatfield

Do, do do do, do do do

Do, do do do, do do do

Do, do do do, do do do

Do, do do do, do do do

I left when you were still asleep

Glad we had the chance to meet

I walked by your room and whispered your name

I knew I wouldn’t be back again

It’s a seed that’s gotta go unsown

It’s a missed connection, a cancelled show

Do do do, do do do

Do, do do do, do do do

Do, do do do, do do do

Do, do do do, do do do

There’s a light shining out through your eyes at me

But getting in is just like trying to crawl up a tree

I try to get past all that stuff

But a little while is never enough

Like a power line it’s hanging low

Seems like there’s no outlet

Do do do, do do do

Hey, babe, there’s something I can keep

Break off a chunk of you and give me a piece

I put it in my pocket to save it for the days

When thoughts of you come back to me and won’t go away

Cos I cannot make my dreams come true no matter how I try

And I cannot be satisfied just knowing you’re alive

Dealt a good hand and forced to fold

Pushed by circumstances beyond our control
