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 --- How Have You Been - Ani DiFranco
