Lyrics

Well I used to watch from far away,
and I missed a lot I have to say,
'cause I never knew you had all these things so bad.

Well I read your list of those who don't understand,
and I happened to catch I'm not on it yet,
it might feel kind of nice to come and save your day.

I tried to see through your eyes,
and I tried to understand,
how you could feel the hatred of a whole world's hand.

If I tilt my head just right and be a good yes man,
it starts to appear you've done all that you can,
and you have every right to be this way.

Doesn't anyone have a heart anymore?
Yes I do, and I was gonna prove it to you, but then...

(chorus)

You were all about the long nights that I tried to chase away,
and you were living for those scornful stares,
you said they threw your way,
oh oh, blue skies could probably reach you,
but it's your plan, it's your plan to live this way.


So how long will we stay here in this carousel?
I said I couldn't stand your pain, but as far as I can tell,
you're alright, seem to be fine watching mine.

I know you can't do much for me now through these tears,
I'm counting on my return in a later year,
I know that you would never use me so it's safe to wait awhile,
or could I be wrong?

Well if I'd have been right,
I never would have written you this song...

(chorus)
