A Hard One to Know Songtext
von Benjamin Gibbard

You call a truce and then you start a fight
You change your signals like a traffic light
′Cause you're a hard
A hard one to know

Around your heart you′ve tied a fishing line
You cast it out there just to see who bites
'Cause you're a hard
A hard one to know

I toss and turn, but I just can′t get to sleep
When I start thinking ′bout what you do to me
You're like a flower garden buried in snow
You′re a hard one to know


You give your love out like an auctioneer
Your moves are jumpy and your words aren't clear
′Cause you're a hard
A hard one to know

First you smother, then you disengage
Your tears of joy dissolve the tears of rage
′Cause you're a hard
A hard one to know

I toss and turn, but I just can't get to sleep
When I start thinking ′bout what you do to me
You drag your feet as ya swing to-and-fro
You′re a hard one to know

I toss and turn, but I just can't get to sleep
When I start thinking ′bout what you do to me
You're like a flower garden buried in snow
You′re a hard one to know


And I try to love you, but you won't let me in
You say it′s ending before it can begin
Ya tell me to stay and then you tell me to go
You're a hard one to know
