Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
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...
