Key: F flat


I'm waiting for you
why do you never understand
the ideas in my head
why don't you follow me my friend
the words that I say
they might as well have not been said
and everyday
there is more sadness in my head
Am I talking intellectually
is my language so complex
am I from another world,
is it confidence that lacks (2x)

How can I explain
to you the way I really feel
you drive me insane
with everything you try to deal
so what will you do
you  just can't live along like this
I'm saying to you
you never knew just what you miss
I throw out everything I can
there's no word I left unsaid
we seem to talk on different lines,
or the connection is too bad (2x)

Before we know
the time of speaking will be gone
so please, please haste
and let us do what's to be done
you can read me like a book
my heart is wide open to you
so just take a look
it's really all you have to do
people say that I'm an optimist
and my hope is very strong
I wonder will you ever try,
to step outside and clear the mist (2x)

Well give it a start
and show your interest in me
you hit me hard
you locked yourself hermetically
just give yourself
you never need to be ashamed
we all make mistakes
and there is no one to be blamed
I will spend all my energy
and the time that I can spare
to understand and to explain,
as long as we are there (2x)
