Hold Your Fire

OPEN SECRETS

It went right by me ‹
At the time it went over my head
I was looking out the window
Should have looked
At your face instead

It went right by me ‹
Just anouther wall
There should have been a moment
When we let our barriers fall
I never meant
What you're thinking ‹
That's not what I meant at all...

Well I guess we all
Have these feelings
We can't leave unreconciled
Sum 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...
