Lyrics
Everyone I've ever known has wished me well
Anyway that's how it seems it's hard to tell
Maybe people only ask you how you're doing
'Cause that's easier than letting on how little they could care
But when you find that you've got a real friend somewhere
Suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear
Now to see things clear it's hard enough I know
When you're waiting for reality to show
Without dreaming of the perfect love
And holding it so far above
You stumble onto someone real you'd never know
(You'd never know)
You could be with somebody who is lonely too
(Sometimes it doesn't show)
They might be trying to get across to you
(Words can be so slow)
But your emptiness is all that's getting through
There comes a point when you're not sure why you're still talking
I passed that point long ago
(Long ago)
I'm so tired of all this circling
And all these glimpses of the end
(You know it's useless to pretend)
That's all the voices say, you'll go right on circling
Until you find some kind of friend
Well, I saw you through the laughter and the noise
You were talking with the soldiers and the poets
While they scuffled through your weary smile
I thought of all the empty miles
The years they spent looking through your eyes
(Looking through your eyes)
Now I'm sitting here wondering what to say
(You might recognize)
Afraid that all these words might scare you away
(Break through the disguise)
No one talks about their feelings anyway
Without dressing them in dreams and laughter
I guess it's just too painful otherwise
Look, it's like you're standing in a window
Of a house nobody lives in
And I'm sitting in a car across the way
(Let's just say)
It's an early model Chevrolet
(Let's just say)
It's a warm and windy day
You unpack your sorrow
The trashman comes tomorrow
Leave it at the curb
And we'll just roll away
