The Weather Station - Running Around Asking lyrics

I went running around asking everybody I know I already asked my mother and the woman who lives next door I've been running around asking for so long I wanted to ask my grandmother, but I couldn't get past the weather But it was good to sit together, on her couch of seafoam green All her secrets safe without me And I called up a friend who lives very far away I took up all her time in asking, but she didn't know what to say I said I wouldn't keep her, and I set down the phone Whined from the receiver the muffled dial tone You were outside smoking, standing out in the snow I've been running around asking like I don't already know
