Voices

If I saw you on the sidewalk
Would you give me a sign
Or would you be wary if I saw you?
And if I gave up all my hobbies
And you gave up yours too
Would we be okay, doing nothing?

Who are these voices, I hear?
Sounds like they're coming from a century ago

And if I took a little effort
And you were still within my frame
Would you be okay if I changed?
And if I saw you on the corner
And you wondered why I was nearby
Would you be okay, with me nearby?
Who are these voices, I hear?
Sounds like they're coming from a thousand years ago
Who are these voices, I hear?

And if I told you a story and you told me one too
Would we be okay telling lies?
And I watched you from the window as you walked away from my place
When the crow came and pecked at your face

Who are these voices I hear?
Sounds like they're coming from a century ago
Who are these voices I hear?
Sounds like they're coming from a thousand years ago
