Lyrics: Open Secrets
Album: Hold your fire
Artist: Rush
 

Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson

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 is not what i meant at all…

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
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…
