The Best Of Michael Franks: A Backward Glance

Sometimes
After a mistake
Life puts on the brakes
It’s as if my body said
This is as much
As I can take
Considering
What you put 
Me through
You can wait
Yeah, for another day
Or maybe two
Cause I’m still reeling
I’m caught up
In so many feelings
That the only thing
That makes any sense
Is to wall off
Is to create a fence
Around my heart
And around my soul
And to be
Impenetrable
Yeah, impenetrable
I can’t take any more
Push and pull
It’s getting toxic
It’s taking a toll
So I’m taking off
I’m out of here
And in case
That’s not clear
What you said
You feared
Became true
I can’t stay
Another moment
No, not with you
