Everyone iand've ever known has wished me well
anyway thatand's how it seems, itand's hard to tell
maybe people only ask you how youand're doing
and'cause thatand's easier than letting on how little they could care
but when you know that youand've got a real friend somewhere
suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear
Now to see things clear itand's hard enough i know
while youand're waiting for reality to show
without dreaming of the perfect love
and holding it so far above
that if you stumbled onto someone real, youand'd never know
(youand'd never know)
you could be with somebody who is lonely too
(sometimes it doesnand't show)
he might be trying to get across to you
(words can be so slow)
when your own emptiness is all thatand's getting through
there comes a point when youand're not sure why youand're still talking
i passed that point long ago
(long ago)
now iand'm so tired of all this circling
and all these glimpses of the end
(you know itand's useless to pretend)
thatand's all the voices say:
click to learn more...
andquot;youand'll go right on circling
until youand've found some kind of friendandquot;
i saw you through the laughter and the noise
you were talking with the soldiers and the boys
while they scuffled for your weary smiles
i thought of all the empty miles
and the years that iand've spent looking for your eyes
(looking for your eyes)
and now iand'm sitting here wondering what to say
(that you might recognize)
afraid that all these words might scare you away
(and break through the disguise)
no one ever talks about their feelings anyway
without dressing them in dreams and laughter
i guess itand's just too painful otherwise
Look--
itand's like youand're standing in the window
of a house nobody lives in
and iand'm sitting in a car across the way
(letand's just say)
itand's an early model chevrolet
(letand's just say)
itand's a warm and windy day
you go and pack your sorrow
the trash man comes tomorrow
leave it at the curb and weand'll just roll away
