Through another late night confession
|
Told to a captive audience
|
And you listen with your ear to the door
|
Waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall
|
Like open secrets overheard
|
Through the cracks in the wall
|
|
With calculated candor you play the part
|
Of a trusted confidant
|
Moving closer for a better view
|
Looking for more than eyes can see
|
On the tattered pages
|
Of an open diary
|
|
If you want to know
|
Just what i see
|
Look at yourself
|
And don't ask me
|
And if you want to know
|
Where we're going
|
Keep your distance
|
And don't follow me
|
|
Like an old friend with nothing left to say
|
You'll find i'm not who you thought i'd be
|
As you contemplate the silence
|
Waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall
|
From the still uncertain heart
|
That beats behind the wall
|
|
If you want to know
|
Just what i see
|
Look at yourself
|
And don't ask me
|
And if you want to know
|
Where we're going
|
Keep your distance
|
And don't follow me
|
|
If you want to know
|
Just what i see
|
Look at yourself
|
And don't ask me
|
And if you want to know
|
Where we're going
|
Keep your distance
|
And don't follow me
|
|
If you want to know
|
Just what i see
|
Look at yourself
|
And don't follow me
|
