lyrics

Abstracts don't really fit my mood
So excuse me if I start to sound confused
It's hard to say just what I mean
Without coming across as rude

It's new to me life to you
Sure you got as many questions as I do
The only difference that I see
Is that mine, they're out there just for you

So what's your answer Ansley?
Just give it to me straight
And what's your answer Ansley?
I don't have time to wait

For the morning brings me a new direction
I'm leaving and I'll take with me my affection
I just wish that I could understand
Give me a word, a phrase or even a full confession

I'm not one to miss a hint or two
And I know that I've gotten some from you
In my cards I hold a full hand
And I can't tell which ones were for me, from you

So what's your answer Ansley?
Just give it to me straight
And what's your answer Ansley?
I don't have time to wait

I don't like where this has taken me
But at least my answers are out there for me to see
So clearly
I wish it could have gone in one of
so many other ways
With no need for tears or laughter or apologies
But clearly

I got your answer Ansley
(I got your answer)
I got your answer straight
I got your answer Ansley
(I got your answer)
It was more than I could take
So goodbye
Goodbye
