An Aspie song, or what?
It went right by me,
At the time it went over my head,
I was looking out the window -
I should have looked at your face instead.
It went right by me,
Just another 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...
(Refrain)
Well, I guess we all have these feelings
We can't leave unreconciled,
Some of them burned on our ceilings,
Some of them learned as a child,
The things that we're concealing
Will never let us grow,
But 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...
(refrain)
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 -
You could try to understand me,
I could try to understand you...
- "Open Secrets", Hold Your Fire (1987)
