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
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 Explain Request ×
