INDIGO GIRLS - the untitled song lyrics

rate me

i tried my best to get over you

kept my distance so i wouldn't have to show

that the things which i kept hidden by my casual smile

were the things that i needed you to know

you could have seen the acting on the stage

you might have read the writing on the page

you could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two

but you never knew it was i was falling for you

sometimes i still think i could get to you

then i laugh and think i could swim the seven seas

it seems when i'm set to fly there's a storm up in the sky

when i'm set to sail there isn't any breeze

you could have seen the acting on the stage

you might have read the writing on the page

you could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two

but you never knew it was i was falling for you

it's been some time now that i saw you in a photograph

looking just the way you did so long ago

i could almost see you throw your head back and start to laugh

in that gentle way that used to let me know

things were okay and a hurting song is just a cliche

and what's the use if they only always fade away

just like the sun just like everyone but you
