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 Is Not What I Meant At All...

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...

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...
