Counting Crows

My friend assures me, It's all or nothing.
I am not worried
I am not overly concerned
My friend implores me, For one time only,
Make an exception.
I am not worried
Wrap her up in a package of lies
Send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried
I am not overly concerned with the status of my emotions
Oh, she says, you're changing.
But we're always changing
It does not bother me to say this isn't love
Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love
And I guess I'm going to have to live with that
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey
Or something in between
And I can always change my name
If that's what you mean
My friend assures me, It's all or nothing.
But I am not really worried
I am not overly concerned
You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself
To make yourself forget
I am not worried
If it's love, she said, then we're going to have to
think about the consequences.
She can't stop shaking
I can't stop touching her and...
This time when kindness falls like rain
