Story Behind The Song
That we are all looking for what we want in life, get wrapped up in it and sometimes lose sight of the bigger picture. On a more basic level; we've all seen things in a woman/man and thought they wanted us..and they were just staring at something behind us!
Song Description
Man sees every glance, every nuance, every movement by woman as indication she fancies him and wants him. Basically he's reading into what he wants to see and looking so hard he can't see the truth in front of him ...that she isn't interested (cant see for seeing)..
woman basically saying we get so wrapped up in things ..pride etc that we sometimes lose sight of the truth, but then we all do that, and sometimes all get lost in life a little.

Lyrics
(Man) I Wanna get to know you
then I want to kiss you,
I wanna make love to you,
then I wanna stroke you...
(Woman)...Keep watch over the sly side,
never cling to false pride,
never worked out how people see me,
never cracked your reality
(Man) I wanna walk with you,
I wanna talk to you,
I wanna stroll with you,
I wanna make love to you.
(Man -chorus)
But I've got my head in the clouds, and I can't see for seeing.
(Woman)
Found myself hooked up,
to these ideas prescribed to us,
and it slipped my thoughts,
I should be holding on to love.
(Man -chorus)
But I've got my head in the clouds, and I can't see for seeing.
(Woman)
Try watching over the sly side,
never cling to false pride,
that affects how people see you,
never lose sight of your truth.
(Man-chorus)
And I've got my head in the sand..and I can't see for darkness
(Woman)
But behind the screens there are people who make fools of me and you.
Stealing both emotions from within for a superior end...true.
We seem to need so much these days that we belie the truth,
That voracious look in our eyes didn't shine that much..through.
Holding on to love x 3
