lyrics

Is there something to be done
Is there something I can do
To help you understand
But no, you never do
I try to explain
But the words all fall away
I try to get clear
But you just run away

In the game that is my life
It’s a wonder what gets done
It’s a parking lot of dreams
It’s a shopping mall of fun
I wish I could make it clear
But the clouds are drawing near
I want to communicate
But you just don’t participate

I wish I could help you
understand
I wish that you would
take my hand
It’s not impossible to see
You are not listening to me

Is there something to be done
Is there something I can do
To help you understand
But no, you never do

I try to explain
But the words all fall away
I try to get closer
But you just turn away
I try to explain
But the words won’t come out the same
I try to get closer
But you don’t even know my name

I wish I could help you
understand
I wish that you would
take my hand
It’s not impossible to see
You are not listening to me

(My life is a parking lot of dreams)
(My life is a shopping mall of fun)
(My life is shot behind the scenes)
(My life is a pilot in reruns)
