lyrics

I like to know where I’ll be before I’m there / I’d rather pack all my things for nothing but be prepared / like facing backwards on trains with our necks craned / can’t see what’s coming til it’s here for two seconds and it shrinks til it’s gone / and it’s here for two seconds and it shrinks til it’s gone / give me a head start, some kind of sign I’ll take any kind / a map, a twitch before the slap / give me a little warning / give me a little warning, would you / give me a little warning / give me a little warning would you / give me an excuse to come back some other time when I can handle bad news?

I spend all of this time looking back into the long distance / feeling the eyes of all the things I can’t see that give me resistance / all of the things I can’t see that see me / all of the things I can’t see that see me / maybe they know when it’s the last time / but everything moves so fast I don’t know til it’s already passed / til it’s already passed / til it’s already passed / give me a little warning / give me a little warning, would you / give me a little warning / give me a little warning, would you / give me an excuse to come back some other time when I can handle bad news?

Give me a suddenly before the verb / a wind-up, a tensed nerve / a tip-off, a long look / a quick curse before the swerve / a flinch before the trigger pull / a deep breath before the word / a stumble before the fall / I’ll take anything / I’ll take anything at all / won’t you give me a little warning / give me a little warning, would you / give me a little warning / give me a little warning, would you / give me a little warning / give me a little warning / ‘cause even though it won’t help to know / it might soften the blow / it might soften the blow / it might soften the blow.
