Intro

Verse

PM):

books of Emerson books of Thoreau

 But all I read was maps of the road

 I was 3,000 miles away from you and

All the while I was 22

What do you do to know who you are

 The best way for me was to drop out on tour

 You went to upstate New York to go to school

 To secure your roll with your parents

Chorus

 But I got a new perspective of you

All the good and bad that we went through

 I know you better than you know you

 Because I got a new perspective of you

Verse

 I never needed much I never liked to loom

 But a gesture can get me from across the room

 The first night we talked while the sun caught up

 Transparent people melting around us

 You left on a plane I left in a van

 Played nightclubs house parties and auditoriums

 Saw Germany and Englany with my band

 I know you better girl than your new friends

Chorus

 But I got a new perspective of you

All the good and bad that we went through

 I know you better than you know you

 Because I got a new perspective of you

Verse

Ford Econoline sept 93

Driving 10 hours till my eyes get blurry

 3 packs of Winstons and a bag of seeds

Tapes of "X" and a thermos of coffee

6 weeks on and 10 days off

 Then back on the road for another show

This is all I've ever done

girl I'vve got nothing else to fall back on

Chorus

w/o guitars until last line):

 But I got a new perspective of you

All the good and bad that we went through

 I know you better than you know you

 Because I got a new perspective of you
