Lyric How Have You Been - Ani DiFranco

Lyric Song How Have You Been: you could always hear the rub squeaking
of those two tree limbs
til one day one of them came down
taken down by the wind
but on the one that s still there
you can still see where the bark was
rubbed bare
it s a metaphor if you know what I mean
how have you been

me and you
and your girlfriend makes three
in the interest of even numbers
I will make myself scarce
I will make myself scarcely me
but I ll be outside your window at night
pull up your shades
leave on your light
I don t want to come in between
I just want to know
how have you been

I leave for a living
music s just something I do
on my way out the door
and I d do almost anything once
something about you
I think I d do you more
if I had my way I d stay here
and watch your hair grow for a while
it makes me smile just to dream of it
how have you been
