It went right by me At the time it went over my head I was looking out the window I should have looked at your face instead It went right by me Just another wall There should have been a moment When we let our barriers fall I never meant what you're thinking... That's not what I meant at all. [Chorus] Well, I guess we all have these feelings We can't leave unreconciled Some of them burned on our ceilings Some of them learned as a child The things that we're concealing Will never let us grow Time will do its healing You've got to let it go Closed for my protection Open to your scorn Between these two directions My heart is sometimes torn I lie awake with my secrets Spinning around my head Something that somehow escaped me Something you shouldn't have said I was looking out the window I should have looked at your face instead. [Chorus] I find no absolution In my rational point of view Maybe some things are instinctive But there's one thing you could do You could try to understand me I could try to understand you You could try to understand me I could try to understand you
