Gearheads of War

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's not what I meant at all.

Closed for my protection
Open to your scorn
Between these two directions
My heart is sometimes torn

::snip::

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.
You could try to understand me
I could try to understand you."
