Communication – The Cardigans

“Communication”


For 27 years I’ve been trying

To believe and confide in

Different people I found


Some of them got closer than others

And some wouldn’t even bother

And then you came around


I didn’t really know what to call you

You didn’t know me at all

But I was happy to explain


I never really knew how to move you

So I tried to intrude through

The little holes in your veins

And I saw you


But that’s not an invitation!

That’s all I get

If this is communication

I disconnect

I’ve seen you, I know you, but I don’t know

How to connect

So I disconnect


You always seem to know where to find me

And I’m still here behind you

In the corner of your eye


I’ll never really learn how to love you

But I know that I love you

Through the hole in the sky

Where I see you


And that’s not an invitation!

That’s all I get

If this is communication

I disconnect

I’ve seen you, I know you

But I don’t know

How to connect

So I disconnect


Well, this is an invitation!

It’s not a threat

If you want communication

That’s what you get

I’m talking and talking

But I don’t know


How to connect


And I hold

A record for being patient

With your kind of hesitation


I need you, you want me

But I don’t know

How to connect

So I disconnect

I disconnect
