Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson |
|
When we lift the covers from our feelings |
|
We expose our insecure spots |
|
Trust is just as rare as devotion -- |
|
Forgive us our cynical thoughts |
|
If we need too much attention -- |
|
Not content with being cool |
|
We must throw ourselves wide open |
|
And start acting like a fool |
|
If we need too much approval |
|
Then the cuts can seem too cruel |
|
Right to the heart of the matter |
|
Right to the beautiful part |
|
Illusions are painfully shattered |
|
Right where discovery starts |
|
In the secret wells of emotion |
|
Buried deep in our hearts |
|
It's true that love can change us |
|
But never quite enough |
|
Sometimes we are too tender |
|
Sometimes we're too tough |
|
If we get too much attention |
|
It gets hard to overrule |
|
So often fragile power turns |
|
To scorn and ridicule |
|
Sometimes our big splashes |
|
Are just ripples in the pool |
|
Feelings run high |
