| [00:01.56] |
Everyone I've ever known has wished me well |
| [00:07.90] |
Anyway, that's how it seems, it's hard to tell |
| [00:14.58] |
Maybe people only ask you how you're doing |
| [00:19.16] |
'Cause that's easier than letting on how little they could care |
| [00:29.42] |
But when you know that you've got a real friend somewhere |
| [00:36.04] |
Suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear |
| [00:41.87] |
Now to see things clear it's hard enough, I know |
| [00:48.71] |
While you're waiting for reality to show |
| [00:55.29] |
Without dreamin' of the perfect love |
| [00:58.85] |
And holding it so far above |
| [01:02.12] |
That if you stumbled onto someone real, you'd never know |
| [01:07.95] |
(You'd never know) |
| [01:10.51] |
You could be with somebody who is lonely too |
| [01:13.62] |
(Sometimes it doesn't show) |
| [01:16.99] |
He might be trying to get across to you |
| [01:20.86] |
(Words can be so slow) |
| [01:23.18] |
When your own emptiness is all that's gettin' through |
| [01:28.20] |
There comes a point when you're not sure why you're still talking |
| [01:33.91] |
I passed that point long ago |
| [01:38.49] |
(Long ago) |
| [01:43.26] |
I'm so tired of all this circling |
| [01:49.29] |
And all these glimpses of the end |
| [01:52.91] |
(You know it's useless to pretend) |
| [01:56.17] |
That's all the voices say, you'll go right on circling |
| [02:03.06] |
Until you've found some kind of friend |
| [02:08.47] |
Well, I saw you through the laughter and the noise |
| [02:15.26] |
You were talking with the soldiers and the boys |
| [02:22.04] |
While they scuffled for your weary smiles |
| [02:25.40] |
I thought of all the empty miles |
| [02:28.63] |
And the years that I've spent looking for your eyes |
| [02:34.05] |
(Looking for your eyes) |
| [02:36.20] |
Now I'm sitting here wondering what to say |
| [02:40.32] |
(That you might recognize) |
| [02:42.74] |
Afraid that all these words might scare you away |
| [02:47.26] |
(To break through the disguise) |
| [02:49.22] |
No one ever talks about their feelings anyway |
| [02:54.75] |
Without dressing them in dreams and laughter |
| [02:59.06] |
I guess it's just too painful otherwise |
| [03:33.49] |
Look, it's like you're standing in the window |
| [03:38.48] |
Of a house nobody lives in |
| [03:41.94] |
And I'm sitting in a car across the way |
| [03:47.58] |
(Let's just say) |
| [03:49.44] |
It's an early model Chevrolet |
| [03:53.76] |
(Let's just say) |
| [03:56.57] |
It's a warm and windy day |
| [04:02.41] |
You go and pack your sorrow |
| [04:05.02] |
The trash man comes tomorrow |
| [04:08.29] |
Leave it at the kerb and we'll just roll away |
